575 FHP Shocks

no diff

the FHP controls the shocks

the place that rebuilds them is in CA? should pull up on a search

leakage: i guess it depends how much fluid is left.... but if it's going to get rebuilt not sure it matters unless it somehow causes damage to something else.

 

i would do them in sets at a min

 

Affirmative, no difference in FHP and vanilla shocks and no difference in shock absorber ECUs. FHP has nothing to do with the shocks except in Europe where they are set for a lower ride height. Replace in pairs. If you want to go with late/HGTC shocks, you also need all new shock mounts.

Only rebuild service I remember seeing was in eastern Europe.

 

I had the rear shocks rebuilt on my 550 back in 2014. I live in the UK and ThyssenKrupp Bilstein GmbH had their workshop / technical centre here and offered a rebuild service back then. They are still at the same address, 7 Vitruvius way, Meridien Business Park, Leicestershire, LE19 1WA, England, but am not sure if they still offer the rebuild service.

 

I was under the impression Delta V rebuilds them, assuming they’re still around…?

 

^ thats the place i was thinking of

 

This thread ended up being timely for me as I just heard from Ferrari Of Washington and one of my front shocks is leaking “pretty well” haha!

 

Stephen:

My 2002 575M suffered a failure of one of the oil pump drive bearings at less than 40,000 miles. Luckily it was discovered before it destroyed the engine (a mechanic heard ‘an unusual noise’). So, yes, you should check them.

Good luck,

Note to 550 owners. 575s do not have Bilstein shocks, thank goodness. Delta Vee never did Sachs shocks, as far as I know.

 

Thank you tazandjan for pointing that out.
