A couple of months ago I brought my car to the dealership because it was making a weird clicking noise behind the left rear tire. they said it was the compressor and replaced it for around $1500. I've brought it back twice and still the noise continues. The noise eventually stopped when the motor (or whatever was making the noise) died and now I have a message "service ride control". I've read on the forum and it sounds like my shocks and compressor need to be replaced. I brought it to another shop for another opinion since I already had the compressor replaced (supposedly now I'm a little suspect) and they say I need new shocks. They estimated $2000 but said if I want to replace with regular shocks and bypass the whole compressor it will work fine and cost a fraction. I'm nervous because I know nothing about cars and neithor does my husband or he'd be the one dealing with it. Is it possible to replace a computerized shock system with regular shocks or am I being taken advantage of and causing possible further damage to the car.
By the way I'm in Mexico not the U.S. and my conversations have been in Spanish so some of my details are vague. My conversational Spanish is great by my car Spanish is seriously lacking.
Thanks for your help.
