You're probably fine... obviously avoid potholes and rough roads. The whole weight of the rear is pressing down and there are 3 more bolts holding!
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Parts might be here early next week though, so I might go ahead and at least do the potentially broken one before I leave town... Not sure if it was necessary but I ordered parts for both sides - by the end I will have removed/rebuilt/installed both sides four times each, so didn't want to take any chances with worn parts. That's another reason I think I broke a bolt - they are supposed to be replaced each time, and I was on my third install when it happened.
Having the same issue B6 Rear Shock will not compress more than 2”
I am having the same issue on my 997 911 where the new B6 Rear Shock will not compress more than 2” and until I found your thread I thought it was just me.
Sorry to hear that, but hopefully you can get it resolved quickly. I don't recall who I spoke with at Bilstein, but they were more for information on the issue. You'll need to do the return through the place you purchased them, and they will deal with the manufacturer.
I used stock springs... It's been long enough since I did the job I can't think of any tips of the top of my head. I'll be redoing the rears at some point though, as I need to finish replacing the mounts.
