    Hey all, I noticed a clunk in my front end today and found out the bottom washer that holds the top of the shock to the tower is GONE!
    The only way it could have escaped is if it snapped in half. I’ve heard people complain about bilsteins leaking but haven’t heard this yet.

    so who has a leaky bilstein 5100 laying around?
    I need the bushing and bottom washer for the top mount..

    It should look like this

    but it looks like this....
