Subject:      Identifying Bilsteins
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

After reading the various shock postings recently, I'm curious to know
which type of Bilsteins I have on my (non-Westy) van, as I'm not a hundred
percent thrilled with the ride.


Can I just crawl underneath and see what I need to see -- a
serial/model/parts number? Or will I need to get it on a lift and/or pull
the wheels or other parts? And when I do look, what exactly am I looking
for and where on the shock will I see it? I've checked the Bilstein web
site and have what I presume are the part numbers for two types of shocks
that fit the Vanagon.
