   I'm in the process of replacing the old Koni front shocks on 19336 with new Bilsteins.  It turns out that the Bilstein upper and lower bushing inside diameters (ID) are larger than those on the Konis.   The Koni bushings seem to have the correct bushing IDs.

  The bolt hole on the suspension upper shock mount, and the mounting bolt, are 7/16", while the upper bushing ID on the Bilstein shock is 1/2". 

  The lower Bilstein shock bushing ID, at 15/32" is also bigger than its 7/16" lower mounting bolt.  Has anyone out there had experience with this issue?
