i would think so. depends if you have any other mods that would effect their wear, which MB may then void the warranty for the shocks.

Is it a Starmark warranty or the 4 year /50,000 mile factory warranty or a third party aftermarket warranty?

What's wrong with the shocks? Seepage or poor performace?

Get your facts straight before you RUN your mouth. Shocks ARE not covered because its a wear and tear issue! Brakes and rotors are ALSO not covered, and have never been covered. Do some searching, you would have seen some of my posts about it. You can read your warriaty information ALSO, its in BOLD.

You need to take your own advice once in a while......just be humbled.....don’t get upset.

Shocks ARE covered - I have replaced many for performance complaints as well as excessive seepage under the factory 4yr/50K mileage.

Brakes ARE covered if you purchased a maintenance plan when you purchased or leased your 2005/06 MBZ.

Oil changes were even covered on most MY2000-MY2004 Models.

In general, brakes, tires and wiper inserts are not covered in the 4yr/50k warranty, everything else is fair game, just depends on the failure.

P.S. No need to type in bold our computer screens' work just fine thank you.

My shocks make a wierd noise when I go up my driveway. My service advisor said that it's covered under warranty so I'm bringing it in tomorrow to get it checked out.
