Can Bilstein shocks be bought individually?

[Cheeseburger]

One of my front Bilstein shocks is bleeding oil. Can you buy Bilstein coilovers individually? I've had a quick look, but they always seem to be sold in pairs or sets.

Hmmm.

PS - the previous owner must have had them installed (i'm not complaining!), so the limited lifetime warranty doesn't apply to me. Nor do I know what the specific part number is (I believe it's P14 PSS - the part is chrome and blue).

Thanks

I bet if you contacted them directly they'd be happy to sell a replacement part.

You'll need the part number but yes, you can buy them individually. You're lucky because you have great suspension (PSS B14) but that also means the replacement will be expensive.

Check out FCPEuro.com, their shipping from the US to down under is quick and relatively inexpensive.

Yes, as said above*, contact them and they'll help you out.

Some muppet decided to cut the rear springs on my Pss9 set and it was easy to get a replacement through Bilstein. Just have to be patient though, the parts will likely be coming from Germany direct.

Ultimately, brake pads, brake calipers, and suspension components should be replaced in pairs, especially something as refined as a “coil over” shock/damper.

You _can_ but you shouldn't. Axle set is what you really want. Like brakes, both sides on the same axle....

Well, it does depend - if you've only got 10k on the shocks you'd be silly to replace both... 100k is a different story.
