Bilsteins?

[Polletta, Jon (J.Po)]

At least on my Bilsteins, the cap has a rubber seal that fits snugly around
the shaft, helping to keep out dirt and contaminates. Also, they have two
notches (180 degrees) for a special supplied tool to tighten them on the
housing. They aren't rounded either; they have some corners on them.

I had picked up some OEM caps and they were smooth all around, with a hex
hole (special tool?) for the shaft to go through. No way they would work
with a Bilstein shaft though - far too small of an opening.

If you need picture comparisons, just let me know...

Does anyone have Bilstiens on their car?
What are the caps (that hold the strut insert in the housing) like in
comparison to the standard units?
TIA
