I understand on paper they don't necessarily have to do with leveling but in my experience on 3 SLS cars they all sat more level after having the spheres replaced. Maybe that's indicative of a failure of rams or the control valve but it was not an isolated experience for me.
However it was never excessive sagging, just the rear was lower than the front.
