BILSTEIN SHOCKS Destroyed

[mpeugeot]

How much does the dealership charge to install billstein 6100 my Sasquatch black diamond rears are leaking with only 14900 miles. What’s the best place to buy the 6100 from I can’t seem to find a complete set for a 2door Sasquatch. I want to replace all 4 any help would be appreciated

If you were only doing rear shocks, I would say DIY, as the rear is the easiest to do. The front shocks are a bit more challenging.

When I get them installed I was going to tell them to install them to the highest setting seen a YouTube video think it was litebrite they had them installed at highest setting and it looked nice. The 6112 seem like a waste to me cause there is nothing wrong with my Sasquatch springs they only have 14900 on them. From doing research 6100 seemed best option cause it uses your current springs

The Eibach's come with springs installed, so to me, that is advantage over having to disassemble and assemble the shocks and springs. That said, there's nothing wrong with keeping your stock springs on the 6112's as far as I know.

No clue about the 6100 settings.. I'm on Fox's. Perhaps someone else will chime in.

If you're satisified with your current setup minus the leaking why not just let them replace them free under warranty? When your warranty runs out you can spend your own coin on something better..

Ya, I agree, let them replace them under warranty. Then buy yourself something better and sell the set the dealership installed. You will still get a couple of bucks for them. Remember most of these shocks haven't failed over many miles (some well past 50k miles).

I got an appointment setup for dec 16 so they can look at my rear shocks will they def replace under warranty it seems like a lot of dealers denied people warranty repair. If they do deny me warranty repair what would you guys do

Beat them with the stick of logic... But if that fails, I would ask them to get the regional rep involved. If that fails, I would probably say that not having this fixed under warranty will definitely impact your future business with them, thank them for justifying a suspension upgrade with your spouse, and go shopping for the suspension you really want.

Not getting covered under extended 100k mile warranty. Both rear shocks are totally shot. 41.5k miles. This is definitely at def

Ive owned many cars/truck and have never had shocks this bad! Had the right rear reservoir fall off my '21 Badlands at around 20k. That one was replaced under warranty. Now the left rear leaked out at 33k and the reservoir is barely attached. Im out of 3/36 but do have the Ford Premium Care plan but that doesnt cover shocks...go figure. Im still going to pursue a replacement and if they deny it I will go and buy the Bilstein 6100's. They seem to have good reviews.

Just brought it to the dealer for a leaking rear shock. The same one they replaced under warranty at 23k miles rusted and leaked out again. Since its that one and has a 12 month 12k warranty they will replace it, but normally wouldn't be covered as Im out of the 3/36 an its not covered under the 10yr 100k warranty I purchased. Service advisor tells me they may not replace it again as I have a lift on it! I was like the shock is fine its the reservoir that leaked and rusted out!. They will try anything not to replace a known faulty part. Anyway next time it happens Im going with the 6100's.
