Default W140 S-500 rear suspension

Hello,

The rear suspension is quite bouncy on my S-500 W140, thinking a pair of shocks will fix the problem, I realized that the rear suspension has an hydraulic accumalator and hydraulic shocks that is tied into the ADS system, which I don't have a clue how it all works.

This is my first Mercedes so I am learning about the German Technology,, well trying to. If anyone has some info on how to diagnose problems with the ADS system, I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Brad

if rear suspension is bouncy chances are your accumulator is out and needs a replacement.
