Anyone know what the correct order of assembly is for the Bilstein front shock BE5-2549? They supply two rubber cushions that slip over the piston rod. One is a flat donut, the other is rounded. The stock shock has two identical donuts.
thanks

 

my 5100's were nut curved washer, rounded bushing on top of pin shock.. the flat ones where the bottom. sorry that was the older ones. the newest bushing set that I got where like this if you can see both washer/caps sandwhich the same size bushings that I was sent.

 

I just replaced my shocks with the 5100's. If i remember right you put the big metal on washer first and then slide the metal bushing inside the rubber mount that has the pyamid shape. Slide it on with the pointed top up. Put the shock tower on next and then put the round rubber washer on top of the the shock tower followed by the big metal washer and then the nut.
