Like in tour it would be pretty bad, so switch up to sport & it went away. Then it got to the point that even in sport it would happen. Try perf mode and it went away. That's when I figured there must be something wearing/worn out?

I don't have C/O's, but if you send the shocks to Bilstein or DRM & tell them you're going to C/O's they will put the grooves in the rods when rebuilding the shocks.

Thanks tom.. that is what I was looking for.. I will probably buy a pair of fronts and get the rears rebuilt.. Although I was told by a guy at Bilstein, $65 per shock to rebuild and i did tell him they were FX3 shocks..
