Bilstein 5100

[nissanh]

How solid are these Bilsteins?
I just went over a curb and heard a snapping noise.

The rear driver side bilstein is still good, so should I get just one shock to replace the broken? Would that affect the driving being one new and one old on the same axle?

Also anybody got the part numbers for the shock upper mount rubber dampers?

Thanks

Front shocks-Bilstein

My '97 has Bilstein BE5-2450 front shocks I bought in '98 My truck has 338,000, and they still work, BUT Bilstein told me they are only good for 100,000. I would suggest that if you don't have many miles on the broken shock, just put another one and don't worry about it. If you are close to 100,000 miles I would replace both.
