Bilstein Struts Front

Bilstein Struts Front 82-92 Camaro Firebird
AK1049 HD series Front.

The one on the right might need a rebuilt eventually, as you can see more staining on its cylinder.

Overall they were working before I took them off the car. (Sold the care took all the good stuff off)

Asking for $250 obo for the pair.​​​​​​ Shipped. Pay Pal Goods and Services.

I will be shipping via UPS with Signature required upon delivery for safety of both buyer and my self.

Re: Bilstein Struts Front

Hi, who can rebuild them? have you ever had that done? the shafts look heat scored or does that wipe off?
just to confirm - these are non-adjustable?
thanks!
matt
EDIT: No longer need info on who can rebuild them...
but still would like other info! Thanks again!

Re: Bilstein Struts Front

When I looked into having a set rebuilt, I think it was a place on the left coast that did them. I'm having a senior moment and can't remember who it was

Re: Bilstein Struts Front

Looks like RoadRace found his info but, for anyone who's curious about getting these rebuilt:

Delta Vee Motorsports in Michigan states they can rebuild/revalve them. Phone number is on the website to see if they still offer the service.

PSi (Performance Shock Inc) at Sonoma Raceway in California is an authorized rebuilder. They have all the details on what you need to do to get them rebuilt on their site.

But, your best bet is Thyssenkrupp Bilstein of America in Poway (San Diego), California. They are Bilstein.
You can ship directly to them. They should have instructions on how to ship them in for service on their site. Shipping to them is likely the most affordable way to get a rebuild.

I'm planning to send some from a different car off to them, later this year.

Re: Bilstein Struts Front

Sorry,

I have not been near a computer recently.

From what I remember, Bilstein were never built adjustable Thirdgen struts unfortunately.
In regards: The shafts look heat scored or does that wipe off? I was not able to clean off so I am guessing they are heat scored.
I can send you more pictures via text if you like 9094564339

As The Eager Teen mentioned, Bilstein in San Diego can rebuilt them. More accurately, Poway, CA. Last I called them all that was needed is to ship to them.

Pricing varied from $90-$120. Per their tech, there are two styles created for the Thirdgens.

Re: Bilstein Struts Front

Hey Mike I sent you a text -- do you still have these? Can you feel the scoring with your finger nail ? Thanks Adam
