Mercedes C280 Rear Shock Replacement DIY (2003-2007 Mercedes-Benz W203 C240, C320, C350 4Matic)

►If the back end of your W203 feels soft and wallowy over the bumps, it's likely time for a shock replacement. The shocks control how quickly and calmly your car reacts to bumps and dips in the road, and nearly 100,000 miles of use will significantly reduce their effectiveness. Replacing the rear shocks yourself is a great way to remedy the poor suspension feel and save yourself some money.

Follow along with Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, as he performs rear shock replacement on a Mercedes W203 C280 4-Matic
