Hi all,

Have a question just got my car back from the shop and the mechanic says that my shock absorbers are getting weak...I have a 2003 c230 coupe with H&R coilovers....had them on the car about 3-4 years now....so what does that mean and what do I have to do? Does that mean I need a whole new coilover setup?? HELP plsssss

Thanks

you can replace the shock portion of the coil overs if they are getting worn out. are they leaking or is the car feeling bouncy?

no they aren't leaking and i don't feel it being bouncy...just the mechanic told me the shock absorbers are getting weak....how much are the shocks...see if its worth getting another set in another brand or just buy shocks
