    Hey everyone

    While needle scaling the entire frame, I came across something interesting. Check out these pics of the driver side rear shock. Why are there two holes at top in which the shock can go into? I have a feeling this one is in the wrong hole... :p.

    The boot is also torn at the top, I imagine from rubbing against the mount cup, from being in the wrong hole. Thoughts?

    Yep, it’s mounted in the wrong hole.

    Yep, goes in the rear most hole. I'd also consider removing that boot.

    Alright good to know, wonder what the other hole is for... I'm guessing Bilstein sells replacement boots?
