Hello,
I'm desperately searching for front shocks for my 3.0 csi Alpina B2. The struts I have were a factory part on early CSL, and the 2002tii used this design also. These struts accept 40mm inverter monotube inserts. The regular bilstein struts will never fit. The piston end actually threads into that hole at the bottom, upside down. The stainless steel shock body is what slides up and down and is what is visible from outside the car. I would chose to rebuild the setup with custom valved 40mm struts and though It is an expensive affair, it seemed to be the only way to use these strut housings, but the problem is that I only have one! See pictures They need to be 40mm, and don’t seem to be readily available. They have told me that you can get them from Bilstein directly and have them valved to meet my needs, but Bilstein is unresponsive.
Can anyone give me a hand to find them (one or the couple) used or new...
The dimensions are: cylinder width 40mm Length 400 mm, top width 19mm, bottom 11 mm total length 660mm.
Thanks!!
Regards and thanks!
