Default Need - rear Bilstein PSS9

Shock crapped out on me. I am working with Bilstein to see if they can repair - but my suspicion is the tube is bent which means no repair/rebuild.
Looking for a used unit since I cannot locate a dealer that will sell just one.
Thanks.

I failed a rear PSS9 on my Cayman S and also could find no one to sell just one shock. I ended up buying a complete used set. I did have the bad shock rebuilt by Bistsein and they did replace the tube but this process took several weeks.

I have one front and one rear available. PM me.

Note to whomever writes the rules ... this is a spec series ... don't specify parts from companies that won't offer spares.

I have the set that I'm planning on putting on the car. I can loan you one until you figure out a replacement.

Very generous offer. Thank you.
mjj000 (who it turns out I actually met at Hastings this year) has a spare he is selling me. All set to get back on track.
