I've been following this thread as I just bought a car with (I think) bad accumulators. What worries me is that when I look in the reservoir with the car running I see no foam what-so-ever. My car exhibits the exact symptoms posted here, super bouncy.

I've already ordered the accumulators so they will be getting replaced either way, but with given the symptoms is it possible that something else is the problem? I've inspected the shocks and they don't appear to be leaking.
