Shock mount
My front passenger side bottom shock mount has just given up on me. It's sheared off competently. how does one go about fixing this? Can you replace the damaged area and how do you get hold of a new mount? Also now need a new pair of front shockers! Any info much appreciated.
Hi Big T
Can you move the shock or has it seized??. Ive never seen a mount snap off unless the shock is seizing up, or its got no damping effect at all and is acting like a slide hammer fracturing metal
You could clean it up and get a decent welder to repair it. If they are good you wont have any issues again. I have my own plan of how i would repair it but im not there lol
There are posts on shock absorbers 100 times over. I have fitted a cheap set of kyb shocks to mine and it has done 3 years on them and pretty extreme long off road days with no issues
Go for the premium ones as i cant vouch for the budget ones. At 3 times cheaper than others and 3 years still fine i will stick to these. Other people will say different but if i can do 9 years worth of shocks for the same price as a merc one i think thats ok. They have done 20000 miles so far
That's a new one, normally it's the back mounts giving way? I think you can get lower mount repair section from MB, but it maybe a NLA part and most likely need to come from Germany, tho easy to fabricate this. Look on German eBay for good deals on shocks, Sachs original equipment
Euro car parts often have good prices on Sachs oem
shock mounts are available!!!! on stock
shocks find your self a nice set of BILSTEIN stainless steel job done!!!
