300td rear suspension

gentlemen,
quick question here. i can't seem to find any good information on these SLS suspensions. so i'll just ask here. my sls goes up and down relative to the weight added or removed from the rear but the rear end bounces like a pogo stick. what is the dampening mechanism? shocks? reservoirs?

Use the search function...look for "SLS, hydropneumatic, accumulators(s)"

Plenty of information already in here on that topic.
