gland nut part number **UPDATED QUESTION**

[jrobie79]

does anyone have the part number for the gland nut for front bilstein sport shocks? I ordered a pair from turner and they are the wrong ones, seem to be too wide and the wrong thread pitch. The ones I received had the number B36-816 imprinted on them. I tried searching but no dice.

**see last post for new question**

Spoke to bilstein, they gave me the number B36-U242-C1, does that seem right?

If Bilstein told you that's the number I would take it at face value. Have you called BAV they stock em if Turner doesn't have them.

bav auto says they don't sell individual parts for bilstein shocks...i'll call them again because that sounds retarded

I have a spare set if you'd like to borrow them then order your and just give them to me.

[jrobie79]

that would be great, where are you located? i just called bavauto, they told me to call bilstein directly

update: so the B36-816 is the correct part number according to bilstein, it is the right diameter for the shocks, but there is also another number stamped into the collar "A1" does the A refer to the thread pitch....from my limited research people are saying for the e30s, they say C1, so maybe that is a different thread pitch?
