    Default How long do Bilsteins last?

    Guys, I put a set of Bilsteins on my 2001 2500HD Duramax and put about 30K miles on them. Since then I've traded twice more for a grand total of about 150K miles on that same set of Bilsteins. I think they are still good but just wondering whether I should think about a new set. No leakage but how long will they last?

    Lifetime warranty but I assume that's on the original vehicle they were installed, not 2 vehicles later. Besides, they would have to leak to be considered for replacement by Bilstein. I'm just curious whether their performance degrades over time if there is no leak.

    I put 150K miles on one set and 110K on another set. I had to replace a couple rubber bushings along the way, but I didn't notice any degradation.
