shock absorber replacement

[kevin_lim80]

Hi, would like to check if anyone here got shock absorber replacement by c&c for W204? Mine feels quite crushy and not handling the unevenness of the road well but I am not sure if c&c would replace them under warranty. How much does it cost to replace it at c&c if it is not covered under warranty? Is it better to do the replacement outside?

[steven77]

If car is still under warranty, why not let C&C check first?

[retiefgoosen]

shocks absorber should be wear and tear items.

not covered by warranty

[steven77]

Shocks normally do not need replacing till around 80000km or so.  If within 3 years the shocks need replacing and if mileage is not high, I think its a good case to insist on warranty replacement from C & C.

Mine On driver side going off too, only hear"thug" sound over a hump or uneven road.,,can live with it, it help keep me awake on the journey n tame me from driving aggressively .

[kevin_lim80]

Mine feels softer and more bouncy as compared to initial. When going over uneven roads at higher speed will feel that the car shakes alot. There is also some tick tick sound when going over small humps at low speed. Sent in to MB workshop to check but was told everything Ok.

Uneven tyre wear is 1 sign of worn out shock

Hi bros,

I own a W212 and found it very bouncy.

Could changing the shock absorber solve the problem?

Any suggestion most appreciated, esp if recommend workshop too.

Thanks!

Dear all, may I ask if ride is too hard, will changing of absorbers help?

[BabyA]

Benn find it bouncy, indignant find it too hard. If both same ride, maybe do an exchange

Anyway changing absorbers can solved the problem stated, provided is the right setup/type.

In the end both parties might get the same result.... due to personal preference...

My ride is W212 E200 -year 2011 with about 80k mileage.

Find it  a little hard and bumpy during braking.

I was quoted by C&C for shock absorbers at $4300.00 c/w GST less 10 to 15% off.

[indignant]

Mine is W245 leh... can fit 212 ma? 

[bratpig]

Call the stockists.

$300 per pc for the front

$250 per pm for the back

[giggss]

Call the stockists.

$300 per pc for the front

$250 per pm for the back

per pc or per pair?

 

i changed to Blistein B6 .. 4 pieces (2 front 2 rear) for about the same price if the above is per piece.

The price is per piece.

Anyway, Don't think people are that unlucky that all 4 pieces spoil at the same time. So it's cheaper to replace

Wow C&C premium like getting higher, I just change my shock outside to Bilstein B16 for less than that as my ride was too bouncy after > 3 years. But my was a W204.

[chershen]

shocks are wear and tear, no matter how you argue with them.

 

coil overs are the best!

[Coupe811]

Any bros can recommend a set of basic coilover as my stock absorbers dying on me liao. Not looking at those racing type, something basic more for "looks". Is for W204 C180 coupe. Can advise the price too?

[Mikepact]

After holding off  for 6 months, it is time to change my shocks as car is getting a bit hard.

My Ride is W212 E200 Year 2011 - Mileage 100KM.

To save some cost, Intend to buy from Stockist and get a workshop to do the fitting. 

Can any bro recommend a reliable workshop.

Compare to many years ago, our sg road standard is getting bad to worst.

 

Contractor digging up on road and then anyhow patch back...doesn't even care if the patch is flat/even or not.

 

Making our road un-even and bumpy, no different from driving cross-country.

 

Maybe because these workers thinking "so long cover-up can already, not need for qc". 

 

Is there a gov QC department doing inspection after the road-work to certify that it is within acceptable standard?

 

If not, we have to replace our shock absorber more frequent.

Hi All,

Sorry to rob this thread but I need some help.

Does anyone here know where I can fond used rear shock absorbers for my AMG A45 FL 2017 just for temporary use.

Thanks all.

Hi everyone! I am new to SGMerc. Kindly need all the pro advise here with regards to shock absorber.

I am currently driving CLA250 (C117) for the past 4.5 years. Everything is going well until the recent past few months, I start hearing Knocking sound froming from Engine Bay / Undercarriage (can't tell where is it exactly from) when driving at uneven surface or going downslope from car park. Past few days I also start to realised my car ride tend to be more rough and louder bang sounds when driving patched up road (from pothole).

I went to C&C to get it checked, they could not discover any issue. This is getting annoying as it is affecting the ride quality and yet the roots of the problem is not determined.

For this situation, do you guys think it is absorber issues or there is other underlying issues that caused the noise?

[Andy T]

If its a tik tok sound, it could be coming from the linkage to the front struts.  I just replace my front structs and rear shocks, and my workshop told me to replace the linkage too as a worn linkage could cause knocking sounds.
