Because of the extreme gas pressures involved, these units are not rebuildable by the consumer. It would be nice if some company were to start rebuilding them, but I doubt if that will ever happen, because there wouldn't be much call. Most of the cars that these highly neurotic compensators were installed on aren't worth fixing. THe SLs never had them. Only coupes and convertibles would be worth restoring and that is a small number. There is probably a handful of people world wide who would want a rebuilt unit on a 108 series. A spring setup works fine. This compensator was an early load leveling system. If you don't carry a full car load of people with junk in the trunk, it isn't necessary. Facts of life.
