Driving the 55 on Saturday I noticed handling was pretty shaky over any kind of bumps.
got home and parked up but noticed a little oil patch near the rear drivers wheel, the little patch grew to a pool of oil in an hour.
after getting underneath it was clear the rear drivers shock had blown its seal and was leaking oil, the car was bouncing all over the place on the air spring only.
the retail price for the each rear shock is £380 and recommended to replace both as any other shocks.
got a 30% discount from my usual parts guys and they will be with me for Wednesday.
will write up the fitting depending upon time and stress factor as ill do these myself.
