[200q20v] RE: Bad rear shock?

[Brian Link]

I would try autozone (If you have them where you live),  I have replaced
Bilstiens through them sans receipt in the past no problems or questions
asked.

When you replace them, you might want to leave out your external bump stop,
Bilstiens are internal.  Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

OK, I think I know the answer to this already, but I thought I would run it
by
your guys first.

Over the last week or so, I have been getting a pretty loud "clunk" from
the
right rear of my 200 when I hit a good sized bump/pothole/speedbump.   I
know
that's not right, and since I'm getting ready to take the car on a nice
4000
mile or so trip, I thought I would look into it.

So I pulled off the wheel and poked around, this is what I saw:
