I have a 2001 XKR and am thinking of doing the upper shock mounts as I will be in here I was also thinking of having the shocks rebuilt my car has the CATS shocks i.e $477 new so I looked on the bilsteinus site and see they do service these shocks for $75 a shock.

Has anyone used this service ?

Service

Thanks

Di dyou ever get this done and where did you see 75 a shock?

Thanks!

 

Look for the word Service in blue right above his signature and click on it.

 

I did and didnt see that price at all. Also read somewhere else bilstein wont do the CATS shocks in our cars...So Im curious

 

Spoke to Bilstein today, they will rebuild some shocks but I wanted to submit the actual part number for a firm quote.

 

Forgot to mention that they did not have a XKR number but could order a CATS compatible XK8 shock from Germany, cost about $450 USD. P/N 20-070540 (front), 20-070557 (rear). I guess love isn't free.

 

I own 2 2001 XKR's, one has Brembo brakes. Both use the same front shocks MJB 2141 EB, the replacement is Bilstein 20-070540, best price I found is $360 each. I'll be calling Bilstein Monday with the part# to see what rebuild service they offer.
Stay tuned, Zeecat

 

Bilstein said they do not rebuild the MJB 2140/2141 EB shocks. But there's a replacement CATS-compatible shocks from Bilstein. I just replaced the upper mounts and did see a little oil on the shocks. For now I may just replace the shock bushing, if possible.
