Bilstein 5150 and the clunk noise, my fix

Well I had read where people had this issue and some did not, I got them today and pulled the factory shocks off and the eyelet hole was a smudge smaller( about 1/8 ti 1/12 off) I weas like it want matter, well it did took it for a drive and it sounded like crap, so I called bilstein and they were going to get me new steel sleves that he said would work( i believe the 7/16 one instead of the 1/2 that it came with). But I went to a local nut and bolt place and the guy got me a slightly bigger bolt(and stronger) and I had to drill the facotry holes just a hair(more like smooth them out) and walla I got it fixed today for only $8 for nuts, bolts, and washers.

The guy at bilstein also said I was going to have the same issue when I went to add the 5100 to the front, so I am going to go ahead and order the sleeves so I dont have to do the front twice.
