“2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 w. Aprox: 30,000 miles. Purchased the vehicle 3 years ago, when it had 17,000 miles on it. When driving at times the passenger rear shock will start making sqeaking / creaking noises. Been like this for almost 1 year now. I dont drive the vehicle very often, but when I do drive it it irritates me. The dealership said the shock needs to be replaced. There are no visible leaks, no abnormal ride quality, etc.”
