[s-cars] Frozen Bilstein

[JAM]

Well, it happened to me now.  I left the house in my sedan the other day and had a very strange feeling in the right front like the suspension was totally locked up for compression/rebound.  I took the car home and swapped it out for the avant.  Got around to taking the insert out today and there was about 6-8 oz of rusty water in the tube and all over the strut.  SWEET!!!  Anyway, pulled it out with my mityvac and sopped up the rest with a shop rag.  Guess I'll be doing the same with the other side tomorrow.  Sure am glad I have a garage!!!  This would totally suck outside in the cold with a frozen in place strut.  
I'm wondering if the same thing will happen with my avant.  I used a new set of bellows with the Bilsteins designed for the stock Boges and secured the bottom with zip straps......so far so good.  I feel pretty sure the water won't be able to get into the struts with bellows in place.  Thoughts?
