Shock fitting question

[Laters]

I just got a set of the eBay Bilstein shocks but when the shocks arrived two were fitted with rubber caps (with integral bushes) and two just had the metal plate that is the top part of the dust cover . (see photo)
I was going to fix the car yesterday but got called out to work .
Luckily I havent removed any parts as yet .
All the shocks on my car already have the rubber cover/bush so I presume that they all should have them. Ive emailed the seller but was wanting to get on with the fitting of them. Has anyone got any ideas if the old ones will trasfer/fit the new shocks or are they are part that can be got from the stealer (will they have them in stock?)??
Thanks

Paul

Just done mine recently too, Lorinser Bilstein from ebay. The set of 4 were brand new and the sets of bushes were in 4 plastic bags.

I would say yes they are useable from the old ones but I would also add that you ought to put new ones on considering the hammering they take.

Note that 2 shocks are shorter than the other 2 - I didn't and had a right old time getting them off and back on

Its these bushes/shock tops I was refering to(see attached picture). I got four bags of bolts with the uper bushes too.
After examination they are genuine merc bushes so will try and reuse two of the old ones if they are ok as I dont have a local dealer.
The part number off the new bushes (the ones that were supplied with the shocks) I am refering to is 202 326 00 68
Shame they came with 2 missing. The plastic dust cover on the shocks also is a genuine merc part with the badge/emblem and the part number too.
Looks like these shocks are a good deal.
