The answer is Yes, a new hydro unit will fix it, and it is the only way to go. The other fix is "The Spring", this cheeseball fix is poor at best.

The down side is the price of a new unit, $750.00 last time I checked.

I had the same problem about 5 years ago, and purchased a brand new USED compensator from my local "Treasure Chest" for about $235.00, and it is as easy to install.

My 108 rides high on it's springs and still kicks butt with the original shocks, the only thing I have had to replace is this unit, after 117,000 miles and 30 years, do you think I should contact MB and complain about this?

If you can't find a good used one in your area, let me know.

Good luck.
