Anyone out there have experience changing all 4 shocks on a C43 or any W202 with sports suspension? If so, how long a job is it and are there any ancillary items that should be changes at the same time? Happy New Year Thanks.

Hi tried to change a suspension shock absorber on my C class coupe 2003 year, and it looks like I need a special key does anyone knows what tool is it and what it's called? Thanks

Went for an MOT today and the C32 failed on rear shocks, one with a serious leak. Any recommendations for a decent replacement? Info and your experiences appreciated!

I have a cl55amg (2001) ... I need a rear passenger side shock... I have been told that the cl500 and cl600 both use the same part as the 55amg, is this true? Also apparently on the rear you can use any shock for either the drivers or passenger side as its the same part for both sides...

Hi all, I have a little rattle in the mornings from my '95 300D and traced it pretty quickly to the top bearing-bush in the shock absorber of the belt tensioner. If you just apply a little pressure to it with a finger, the noise vanishes. It's generally quieter when the engine's warm too...

Could anyone give me any guidence/tips on changing a rear shock. On my W211 E320 (03). Thanks.

Wanted. One rear shock, for my (03) w211 E320 avantgared with sports suspension. This is for a tempory fix to satisfy the wife. I have spent far too much already, in her eyes. More important things :like bills: to pay for.

I have a 150,000 mile E320 CDI with Airmatic. It suffers what I think to be a rough ride and is very sensitive to wheel balancing issues. I had the opportunity to follow and observe my car from another today, driving next to it I could see that the front wheels (especially driver-side)...

Just rung to renew my warranty (which I was quoted for last week at £1040 ish) It has now gone up to just under £3000 !!! I nearly passed out! Wish I had payed when I rung the first time!!!!

Hi guys, im new here so please bare with me. My car is a w202 (1994) C280. I'm fitting a Spax Suspension kit (Not my first choice but time and money was a factor) Regarding the settings on the shocks, can anyone give me advice on the best settings for my car. (clicks either way, front and rear...

Guys, Does anyone else get a static shock when you touch the frame of the door as you exit your car? I get this a lot with my 211 but not on my 202 and nor have I experienced it with any car previous. (I've posted here because I'm assuming it something to do with a charge built up on my...

Hi all, Wonder if you can help me. My car, a W203 320 CDi is due for a service. The indicator changed from approx. 9000 miles to go to 'service due in 21 day's a couple of weeks ago, so I assume it is 'Due Date' now. It is asking for a 'B' service. The car was registered in March 2007, and...

Well my car went in for it's B service yesterday, the dealer uses fixed price service charges, which for mine was £255. I had a list of problems for them to look at, the dealer phoned late last night to say all the problems had been dealt with apart for two items, low speed steering grinding...

I have just got in my E Class saloon (2006/64,000 miles) and as soon as I tried to turn left out of the drive I heard the front nearside tyre rubbing against the wheel arch. On closer inspection, there is now no clearance between the two There was nothing wrong with the car when I last used...

Hi, I have a brand new set of shock absorbers, never fitted for sale. I will sell the set of 4 (2 front + 2 rear) for £130. You can either collect and pay cash from me in Birmingham or I can quote for postage. I may split them, contact me for a price. The fronts are new Quinten Hazel...

i was wondering if you can ajust the ride hight on the rear of the estate version on stadard shocks? cheers chris

Hi. I have been offered some new rear shocks for a 95 e220 estate. As I have a saloon of the same vintage. I wondered if these would fit and perform ok. I guess they would be firmer than a saloon shock. However would these be comparable to a heavy duty saloon fitting? I am very tempted by...

Hi all, I found that the shock absorber on the front of the engine was rattling quite bad, so i have gone and got one from mercedes, upon trying to fit it, the bottom bolt won't come out its a bit too long to be able to release the shock absorber :( Is there any way to remove this without...
