Bilstein Dust Covers

[PhilNW 43]

Where's the best place to get bilstein dust covers other than bilstein for a Grp A/N strut

 

Had the blue plastic ones from Bilstein but one has cracked and do not fit under 70 mm id spring properly

The inverted damper with small i.d spring doesn’t use them, as you noted they don’t fit.

You could try motorcycle fork gaiters

I know that the proper blue ones are £20 from bilstein,mine had to be ordered in from germany

The strut wiper seal should be sufficient, and if it isn't there could be a couple of reason's why:

 

1) Your not cleaning it often enough

2) You haven't replaced it often enough

3) The design is crap

 

As is mostly the case, all 3 apply.

always had covers on them which is why i want to replace them

good enough for skip brown etc etc

If we all lived by the motto 'good enough' then we would never progress.

 

Eibach sell some dust covers which encapsulate the spring as well, made from a neoprene fabric I believe.
