Transport/Shipping blocks on suspension
Drove my brand new car off the lot and after about 10 miles i started to feel like the suspension is extremely stiff. So i call the sales agent to ask if this was normal. He responds by gaslighting me and saying of course a M class car is going to have a stiff suspension. He follows up by asking me which highway I was taking on the way home. After I told him the name of the highway, he said that the roughness I was feeling was because of the shitty road. Buyers remorse was really kicking in and I was just really unhappy with me purchase after just buying a 100k car. So, I get home and start inspecting the suspension, turns out they left the transport blocks in the car. My back hurts and I have a major headache.
The dealer is promising to make it right by having the car shipped back so they can remove the blocks. I am very frustrated with this experience and low-key just want to remove the blocks by myself or have it done locally. Does anyone know how to remove these blocks? Is it easy? Tldr: dealer messed up, how do i remove shipping blocks? |

Do you not have a local dealer? Any dealer local to you can remove it.
Getting the dealer to cover paying a third-party to do it is also an option. |

Without a lift or at least jacking each corner it will probably be difficult if not impossible to remove but they pop out and are essentially 2 halves like a clasp around the strut rod. Agree it’s crazy that this is still going on.

The car rides like butter now compared to day 1. I am much happier and have zero remorse for buying this car. |
