Rear damper replacement

Hi,

Has anyone changed their rear shock absorber on an L405?
Mine has failed and the car is suffering a horrible vague bouncy rear end because of it.

Have changed plenty of suspension component on other brandes of car but wouldn't like to get elbow deep into the job then realise I need a special tool.

Hardest part is releasing the rear seat base, to allow removal of the rear seats Thumbs Up

Mikey thanks for the heads up on the rear seat removal, changed the damper today and the longest part of the job was the seat removal.
Changed the rear discs and pads while I was at it and it was all very straight forward.

The old rear damper was totally shot and had no resistance left in it at all!

The difference in driving the car now is night and day.

Seen a few like that. No evidence of any leaks, but absolutely no resistance...
