Below is a photo of one of the hydropnematic shocks I'm re-installing on my 1992 300 TE wagon. I've fitted a new bellows to protect the shaft. I also put in a new bumpstop that I mentioned in another thread.

those shocks look great!im afraid to ask the $$.what led you to put new shocks in?reason im asking ive got 2 wagons with sls.did you notice an improvement in handling/ride quality?

Those shocks are the old ones on my 1992 300 TE wagon with 133K miles. I purchased the wagon recently and I'm doing a number of things to it. I've not driven it yet. I believe the accumulators are bad so I've got some new ones coming. I designed and had manufactured bumpstops which I'm selling for $33 plus actual shipping cost.
