my 1994 s500 with 68k has developed a bouncy ride.....
seems to feel the bumps really hard....
didnt used to be like that...
anything i should look for myself before spending $$$$$ at the mechanics?
maybe somebody has some ideas before i do take it in...

thanks

Your car probably needs the air cells or belows or what ever other names you can think of for them. They are part of the hydraulic suspension system.

They are available as an aftermarket part.
