I must say the area in question certainly is clean!
Is the line running down out of sight open to the air and is that the same thing as mine that makes the J turn?
BTW, what shocks are those?
I just used a can of foamy engine bright to clean things up, it was covered in 1/8" of rubber dust and dirt prior.
Yes, the hose they put in just runs to the lower edge and is open to the air.
They're Suplex adjustable shocks.
I agree that this job was exorbitantly expensive, and it's hard to rationalize the work adding up to the cost. When I bought this used M3W I knew there were upgrades that needed to be done. This issue was unexpected work and was most expensive of them all.
