I just expected to at least have 1 year problem free considering a garage looked over it .. We have a feel of the rubber on the suspension (forgotten the names) on the rear and there are noticable holes in the rubber...you can just about poke your finger through the other side.. Really i need time to jack car, take wheel off and take a look myself .. We've been looking at those B4 shockers... 150.00 for a pair of rears and 170 for fronts is ok, just expensive when i spent 7.5 on my car that's all .. Bit gutting i always get done over! Thank you so much for all your kind words and wisdom! Its greatly appreciated ill let you guys know how Friday goes but from having a feel of the rubber tonight .. Think its gonna be my first big expense .. Sigh
The B4's are only 120 a pair. I know it's best practice to change all 4, but it's not necessary. It's a BAAAAAAD idea to change just 2 on a car that's many years old and has really worn dampers, but the fronts on a 500 that's a few years old and has only done 30k ish miles won't be too bad. My rears were replaced at 36k and 12k later on I've not really had any moments where I felt it was an issue. I want to go for a full set of B4's at some stage, but I'm not in a rush.
From the sound of it your rear dampers are shagged, if you wanted to do a real cheapy cheap fix you could just get the bushes replaced.
