599 shocking shock absorbers

[fitzmoresco]

Font near-side shock is weeping. Unlike 456 and even 612 my servicing folks tell me they can't be reconditioned, only come in pairs as OEM parts and are £1300 EACH without fitting. I know they are rheomagnetic blah blah blah but one of you smart folks must have a cheaper fix or alternative idea...help please

Thanks will keep you updated

apparently the OEM supplier has the ability to recondition them but guess what would rather sell a new pair at £2600. My servicing guy tells me they are seeing this problem increasingly on Californias, Maseratis and a few other related models. could be a known trend…

FWIW garage tells me they are Sachs (?) supplied parts not bilstein. not sure this helps either way….

i passed on the L suggestion to my garage. they know them from reconditioning other units but had struck out on the 599
