E55 AMG
Reak shocks leaking

Hi Guys, my dealer about to rip me off again. I need two rear replacement shocks, they are quoting £350+vat each for the correct one. My car needs the more expensive - so I am told. My car is 2003 E55 AMG with airmatic suspension. Can anyone recommend an OEM replacement or anything equivalent or better that the Merc part.

Once I got the phone call from the service department, you can just predict it is always bad news. I laughed when they told me I needed 16 spark plugs, I thought surely these guys can count to 8 - obviously I didn’t know what twin spark meant. Thanks again for your help! You cannot beat the forum for the best advice.

There was a thread on here about having them refurbished for less. It was in the U.S.A though. Do a quick search and you may find it.
