I have done a bit of searching and can't find real good description of how a properly functioning SLS system on W123 wagons are supposed to perform. Specifically, I am interested in symptoms related to bad accumulators....I understand that will result in excessive bouncing...could someone describe more? When the wagon SLS suspension is functioning properly, will the car ride smoothly and level, even when going over dips in the road. Currently my wagon seems to bounce a little too much, but I am not sure if that is just because the back compartment is essentially empty (no extra cargo weight). I rebuilt the SLS valve, replaced fluid & filter, the pump is working well, there are no leaks in the system, car sits normal/level, and I know the PO replaced the actual struts (verified by reciepts). I am not sure if the accumulators were replaced.


How should my car ride when susp. is operating properly....nice, level and smooth, or with a bit of bounce?

Thanks,

Mark
