    WTB: Just one rear Bilstein Sport shock

    I'm in dire need of just one rear Bilstein Sport shock in good condition. I stripped the stupid top threads trying to install today. I also bought a set used so no warranty is in affect. PM me a price shipped to 91214. Thanks!

    John.

      Why not run a thread chaser over the damaged threads?
      Harbor Freight has a decent tap & die kit for like $11.

      Also why not just buy a new one, they are only like $75.

        I thought about maybe trying to fix the threads too but the top half of the threads are almost nonexistent which probably would mean I would have to go with smaller threads (10->8mm?) I'm assuming since I've never done it before. I also thought about just getting a new one but in that case I would buy a full matching pair (where can I get one for $75?) and when I ordered new pair for the front the rear were still > $200/pair. So, I thought I would try to see if anyone have a good used single lying around.

          Let me ask my buddy Shant, he could possible fix the threads for you.
