Iv had the Bilstein b10 suspension kit on my corsa for almost 2 months and i now seem to have a knackered rear shock.
Been getting a knocking noise from the rear on the right hand side for the past 3 weeks and tried everything to find out what it is and it turns out i may have a leaky shocker,it seems very soft when compressing it and when i removed the other rear shock to compare it the softer shocker releases the piston far quick than the stiffer shocker.
Will this be a leaky shocker?im just mad to think i had budget suspension on my car for almost 3 years without any problems and now have this problem with a far more exspensive kit it so annoying.Dont get me wrong but the ride quality is much better than the budget kit.
Has anyone else herd of this problem?

surely they offer waranty? even the best manufacturers occasionally let faulty stock slip through the net

Haven't you been running different springs on the rear than the standard B10 ones? May explain it. I've been running mine for 6 - 8 weeks now iirc with no issues.
I live right out in the sticks too where the roads are fooked so they get worked!

Im using the rubber mounts that came with the kit.
And i did use different springs on the rear for a week then fitted the ones that came with the kit.
Im waiting for a reply from the company i bought the kit from to see if they can send me a new shocker out.

It should be all fine if the seller isnt a arse about it and sends a replacement shocker out.
