hl1977 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I have searched around (without any luck) about bushes for bilstein b6 defender rear shocks. The upper bushings on my truck are starting to disintegrate with less than a one year of usage . I have original bushes (NRC5593), but they are way too big. Also the bilstein uses two-part bushing on upper eye not single thread roller style. Is there a part number or any keyword I could use to find suitable bushes?

Anderzander Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I contacted them directly and they sold me a full set - they were super helpful and a really good price. It started off with me emailing them and they said: Quote if you call 0116 289 8345 and press option 2 for service, they should be able to help.

neil110 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) From memory they are the same size as Defender anti roll bar bushes. I was disappointed by how quickly the original Bilstein bushes, both top and bottom, failed Edited December 16, 2018 by neil110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hl1977 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Thanks for replies! Called to local Bilstein representative and they haven't even heard about bushes being separately available. What are toughts about that, if I cut original bushes into two halfs and then trim away the excess of rubber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Why would you cut them in half ? 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
