I had a similar problem w/my rear bilsteins. I bought them from eeuroparts, who had no record of my purchase after x years.
I ended up working directly w/bilstein and had to pay a nominal amount for replacements. They credited me back when I returned the bad shocks to them.
My car has aero springs and sway bars installed not that long ago in either years or miles. I went ahead and put new bushings in while the shocks were out, but didn't have time or the code for new springs(the springs only have ~45K miles on them). I'm ALMOST positive that the real issue was that the springs bottomed (I also rarely have a full load, and sometimes pull a light utility trailer) and that led to shock failure.
I'd see if there is a cheaper way to do the warranty replacement if it were me.
