Hello all,
I have been hearing a weird thump/knocking noise from the rear wheels when I go over even small bumps. I had a feeling it was a leaking shock. I had a look at the shock (in the wheel well) and sure enough, the rear left shock was soaked in liquid (on a dry day). I had my winter tires put on at the dealership yesterday and the dealership was able to confirm that the shock was in fact leaking. They quoted me $700 plus tax to have the shocks replaced ($350 each).
SO it seems to me I'm on my own since it isn't covered under warranty either.
Is there any one who knows a mechanic that that can do the job properly but with a fair price? At the very least, can someone tell me where to find the part BBN528910C at a better price?
I don't need anything fancy, just need to get the job done - I am not too rough with the car (sometimes it needs it though I must say) ;)
Thanks, and sorry for the long post - trying to be as detailed as possible.
