Front 5100 bilstein needed ASAP!!

I need a front bilstein 5100 if anyone has 1 laying around.The thread on the current one I have will no longer hold the nut and bushing on there due to stripped threads..that's another story.Willing to pay shipping.if you don't want to part them then I'll buy both.LMK what you have

 

I have ONE. Lol it has around 7-9k miles on it.
If you want to buy it

 

What's your PayPal

 

I'll pm you.

 

I also just had one of my front 5100 threads go out on me and I am just throwing OR take offs on it (2wd didnt really NEED 5100s) I'll have the spare (good) shock out probably Friday if you want it.

Edit: I have top hats and all hardwear for mounting included. Also, it has around 15k highway miles, no off-road.

 

I already bought one from another member here.it's already on the mail.will be here Friday.I'll keep you in mind though!

 

No problem! Didn't know if you had yet!

 

Yea about 5 mins after I posted I had a member save me for a smokin price! @crhernandez24

 

Is this a common problem on the 5100s?

 

No I don't think so.I think the shop that installed the lift is 99% of the reason for the stripped threads.It first started out as just being cross threaded.then I took them off to adjust the rake a bit and noticed it the threads on 1 strut.Then it no longer would thread on.I haven't heard of any other 5100 threads being stripped due to being cross threaded.Operator error at this point

 

Ok, this is the first time I've heard of it but two people on the same page of the same thread made me wonder!

 

Yea as long as the installer takes his time you should be fine.if you do your own work...even better

 

No it is definiaitly not, I just had issues with the rubber bushing wearing out allowing the shock to kinda rub free and "walk around" in the top hat. Once I removed the nut to repair it one of threads on the 5100 was chipped and unable to thread a new nut.

Attached is what my threads looked like once I removed the nut, not stripped, but the threads damaged.

 

I'll definitely be doing it myself. Its what I do for a living.

 

I don't think you'll have any problems..if you do..members on here will save you lol

 

That happened on my wife's X5. The rubber part separated and it damaged some of the threads. I was able to fix the threads with a file though.

 

I'm sure I could fix it and keep the 5100s with my Eibach coils but honestly I'm 2wd and hardly off-road so I'm going to go back to stock shocks/coils and just pop a spacer in there for clearance with my tires; and gain my stock ride quality back. The eibach/5100 combo was nice but rough for the daily drive IMO.
