2WD or 4WD? Bilstein does not make a front shock for the 4WD. Made in Belguim though suggests that it might be Bilstein. You could try calling Bilstein to see if they can warranty it for you. They probably wont but maybe they will give you a good deal on fixing your old ones. If they say Monroe on them anywhere; make sure to get those puppies thrown in the garbage where noone else can put them in their van. Bilstein is my preference. However, I just got a Syncro so I think OME will be my option. Boges are good, they do have a lifetime warranty. Just that they arent as good as Bilstein or Koni.
