New Accumulators Failed Within 5 Days, W126

Very frustrated. I installed two new accumulators (cells), flushed and refilled hyd fluid and installed a new filter. This all took place on 02/04/06. Worked great, the ride was significantly improved. Then on February 8th, the ride was back to pre new cells. It feels as if there is no rear suspension at all. Fluid level is up. Pump is pumping. No leaks that I can detect. I did crack open one of the hyd fittings and it seems as if there is air in the fluid. Harder to detect since the fluid is clean. When I removed the hyd lines from the old cells the old oil just foamed out.

What am I missing? I doubt that I got two bad cells at the same time. And in fact it worked for a few days. We probably only put about a hundred miles on the car after I put the new cells on? I purchased this car in November, first MB. In very good condition, not neglected. I really like the car and got used to a MB ride for a few days. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks
