Default Anybody know a company that can rebush shockers?

This might sound a little silly to some, but on another car the bottom mount bushes on the rear shockers have worn out. In the normal world you would go an get some new bushes, rip the old ones out, push the new ones in and hey presto, jobs a good un.

On this daft car however, the bushes are not available separately, so you have to buy the whole shocker. And if you think thats daft, your lucky you dont know the price of the shocker, you better be lying down if your going to ask.

Anyways, was wondering if theres anyone i could possibly take the shocker to that might be able to make a bush for it? Or im open to any other suggestions and ideas?

Thanks

Really could do with someone who can custom make them.

This is the bit i cant get my head around:-

2004 Mercedes S-class (S55 AMG).

Bottom bushes in both the rear shockers are part of the shocker, not available separately.
