I recently changed the rear shock's put one from beinstein
and one of my car spring was broken so replaced both of them with the H and R springs
after that
the ride is great
you can feel the diffrence
cost rear springs both of them $166
Shocks from Beinstein $151 each
Total Labour hours :- 5 Hrs as the spring and the small scres were too complicated
but other then that everything went ok
oh ya add 2 hours just to figure out how to remove rear shocks
i did not remove the trunk liner
you just take out the wheel well plastic and access the top from there with your hand
there is a small cap which has to be removed first
then you will see 3 screws which has to be taken out
the small cap can be removed by twisting
i thought so!!! when i had my ml lowered by an independent shop(my usual guy closed) he removed the entire trunk liner!!! i thought he was definitely going about it the hardway...thanks.
My mechanic raised the ML to about the shoulder level and did not need to take any
My mechanic raised the ML to about the shoulder level and did not need to take any liner or plastic..
Though, without the right size wrench, it was a painful slow process to take the 3 nuts from the top rear shocks..
