Boge shocks

Hi,

I just got a set of Boge rear shocks from DMG and Stevie Wonder must be working in Boges quality control!! 3 of the 4 have had the top end welded on at an angle, 2 of them so badly that the top dust sleeve would be scraping on the shock body. Am I just being a perfectionist, or are these as bad as I think?

Does anyone have any recommendations of where I can get these done properly!

That is for Sure NOT german craftmanship.

Return them.

If you have problems, I can contact them within germany in their own Language. PM me in this case.

I had one of my rear shocks do that. Did not notice until it was on the car and the paint scratched as it moved

Hi,

Recently bought a set from SNG B and they were all good. Still will check tomorrow though.

I would return them and ask for refund or new ones.

Phoned DMG logged complaint, told them that I had e mailed photos of problem. Complaints Department will contact me on Monday. I chose Boge because of the ride quality most people want, not to focused for most driving situations, I could have put them together but the pressure of the spring on the wonky top would force the piston over at an angle and cause premature failure of the seals.

I have just discovered that one of the Boge shocks I bought from SNGB last May has exactly the same problem, they've asked for photo's and I'm waiting for a decision on a replacement.

I wrote to them in germany, in german on their website, and never got an answer.
