Replacement shocks. C70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Butchman on  Thu Apr 24 15:43 CST 2014 [RELATED]


Any info would be helpful...I have a 1998 C70 HPT with 177K and have had the Bilstein HD's all around. I have around 100K on them and they do not leak. How many miles are they good for? And what would be a replacement alternative to go with besides Bilstein?
Thanks for any help.

Probably over 120K. A good test is to come to a stop and notice any dip in the front end. More than an inch is replacement time. Uhh, a normal stop, not a 60-0 panic type.

If you like the HD's, continue. Otherwise, the Sachs (OEM) are reasonable.
