Do I change the accumulator?
Hello everyone I have a 2003 CL55 with around 93k miles now, the abc system works great does not sag at all and I've left it days parked in the garage anyways it does need to have the abc accumulators replaced because I hear a hissing sound probably from it losing its nitrogen charge and I get the abc low light for half a second when going over bumps but I had a question I do not plan on keeping the stock abc for long I plan on removing it and getting coil overs for peace of mind with that being said I'm not gonna change it right now maybe in a couple months, the reason I am making this is to ask if its even worth changing out the accumulators I dont mind the abc light over bumps it has to be a big bump for it to come on for a second but from what I read it puts more stress on the abc lines which could explode thats really the only reason why I would change them but if I could keep it like this for a couple more months I will just change out the whole system. let me know thanks!
I Have an 08 mustang gt (140k miles). AC slowly became worse over time every year. it leaked refrigerant near front of car when trying to recharge AC. car place found a hole in the condenser (located in front of radiator). they want to replace condenser as well as the accumulator and recommend replacing the valves too.

Canyou give an update? I have a 2006 CL5 with abc that works fine but one strut is leaking so I have an ABC error. I'm thinking of going to Strutmaster coil overs for POM. Did you change it? How was it? Did you a rear stabilizer bar?
I want to make my car feel like it's floating on air, like an old 70's cadilac. My CL500 is not for racing and tight cornering, I drive it slow and take it easy on turns.
Appreciate your feedback.
