Hello everyone,

I found a few posts about a specific noise coming from the passenger rear side; however, some people suggest it might be the 48V system, the transmission, or something loose. I bought my 2023 GLE 53 AMG SUV from Carmax, and ever since, I've heard a clunking or thump noise when decelerating or accelerating at lower speeds. I took it to the dealer, and they said I need a replacement shock. They told me it would take a whole month to arrive, and I wanted to see if anyone else has had issues with the suspension. Or do you guys think it might be something else? I am hesitant about returning the car

If it is still under warranty let the Mercedes Dealership repair it.

Yeah, they told me that the suspension is back order and there is not ETA.

Same problem here, 2024 GLS450, right rear shock failed at 6K miles. Was on vacation 2000 miles from home and every bump I hit, the right rear wheel would bounce. Dealer around me could get has a replacement shock. I had my home dealer check availability in the US and we found the only one in the US in Texas which I ordered and installed myself. Not a good look for Mercedes or Bilstein the maker of the shock.
