Does anyone know if bilsteins use a special shock bushings for the front shocks? if not, whats the best one to buy? I need to replace my factory bushings and currently have bilsteins in. Also, what is the best diff drop to buy. I figure i only need to drop it 1 inch. thanks

I always wondered what the lifetime warrenty on the bilsteins meant. Could you get them to cover the cost, or give you a new shock?

Bilstein said that they just reuse the factory bushings. but i was looking for what type my shocks used. I dont remember what they looked like and the toyota guy wouldnt tell me what demensions they were. anyboy use Energy suspensions bushings that could chime in on the part number?

ah, I thought it was the lower bushing where the shocks connects to the lower control arm.
Maybe someone like Tor can help you out with OEM bushings
