    My 2002 Gated 575m with FHP has developed a Leak in left rear shock at 111,000+ miles. In reviewing old threads, seems like no difference with standard 575. Still true? Are new replacements available or do I need to go with rebuilds? If I replace the rears should I do all four? Any other advice appreciated.

    Forgot to ask, any potential damage to suspension driving with a leaking rear shock?

    no diff

    the FHP controls the shocks

    the place that rebuilds them is in CA? should pull up on a search

    leakage: i guess it depends how much fluid is left.... but if it's going to get rebuilt not sure it matters unless it somehow causes damage to something else.

    Affirmative, no difference in FHP and vanilla shocks and no difference in shock absorber ECUs. FHP has nothing to do with the shocks except in Europe where they are set for a lower ride height. Replace in pairs. If you want to go with late/HGTC shocks, you also need all new shock mounts.

    Only rebuild service I remember seeing was in eastern Europe.
