    Shock question.

    I'm about to tackle front shocks today I just got some bilstein sport. The question is what's that plastic ring that comes with them? Bumstop? Where does it go?
    Might be a stupid question but the help will be appreciated.

        i got those too and since i didnt know what they were, i just threw them out. almost a year later and they are still working just fine. i assume you mean the ones slid over the ends of the rear shocks in the picture right?

          they secure the boot over the shock, check the directions (if some were included) there is a small description.

            in the picture if above, if you just slide the ring further up the shock body you can slip the boot over the ridge to hold the boot securely.
