Default Rear Bilstein HD droplink problem

Hi,
I have the problem as described in a post by quasr back in 2007 where the droplinks on the rear shocks either separate from the sway bar or the droplink mount on the shock. On mine the droplink is completely missing and I can freely move the droplink mount by hand. See link [URL="http://https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/386076-problem-with-bilstein-rear-shock-drop-link.html"] Can someone please tell me where to source the lock rings?

Many thanks

I called Bilstein directly here in USA and got extra lock rings in about a week. Not sure about down under, but they must have a presence.

I put so much "Lock it" on mine that they didn't move since 4 years I changed my shocks.

Unfortunately, the lock rings will be nearly impossible to turn ever again. I did this when I first installed my suspension three years ago - when I took it in for the alignment (and slight front ride height adjustment) the tech and I had to carefully pick the dried LoccTite out of the threads.

Well may be... But when everything is set, we never need to change that setting again. At least I hope!
