If am really frustrated! just replaced both Accumulators in november, as well as putting new shocks on the rear (used).

Going down the road today, and the dang thing starts bouncing like the shock's are worn out. I remember reading that bouncy/harsh ride charactoristics are usually the accumulaters, and the shocks are fine unless they are leaking. Is that correct?

If so I hope the accumulaters are under warranty!!
Thanks
Jason

The TD's hydropneumatic suspension is self-bleeding. Make sure you have the correct amount of fluid in the reservoir and, confirm that the link from the sway bar to the positioning valve is still connected.

if you replace the air cells and there is no leaks anywhere,bleeding or adjusting or a broken linkage is it-- Dennis

YAHOO, I would much rather fine tune and bleed the system than replace the accumulators again. will follow the posted advice on a mission tomorow, to get my car riding like it should, rather than the horse and buggy version that it has today.
Thanks to all for your imput.

I just repaired my TD rear suspension. In my case the accumulator replacement not only cured the need for Dramamine, but it rides so so smooth.

Have you checked to see if the suspension will rise and lower as it should by manually manipulating the control valve?
