Is this a problem?? *pic*
Had my wheels off today to clean the calipers and the inside of the wheels. I had the right rear off and noticed this. I assume the tire rubbed on it at some point. Thoughts?

That'll buff out.
Check and see if your fenders are rolled, maybe the previous owner was running bigger wheels/tires. Btw the backs are rolled from factory.

Checked with the dealer today and they do not sell them separately. He did quote me the entire shock for $460 which didn't seem all that bad. This was www.mbzmedford.com a site sponsor, really helpful and friendly.

Just take a dremel tool, to shave off the debris, and use a a piece of plastic or duct tape to cover. Understand that duct tape isn't a premanent fix. It will eventually come off.

I do not see rear shocks offered on their site right now, only the front. Their price is $399 plus a $100 core which you get back. If I were to buy one I'd just go with the brand new one from the dealer for only $60 more.

I know that they have had issues with Range Rover Arnott replacements, but only a few MB owners here have had any issues with Arnott and needed to return them. But hey, for $60 just get the OEMs, imho.

They don't make rears. And yeah, for $60 more you might as well get a new one. The Arnotts are good but they are rebuilt so the mounts, etc., are all used parts.

Safe to say those guys are not big fans of Arnott!
