bouncy rear suspension on 92 500e

hello, i have a 92 mb 500e (european edition) and i have a problem with my suspension, i know what i ihave to look at and what i suppose to fix but it costs a lot to do...i thought that i could maybe disconnect the hydraulic system and just add regular struts and springs....what do u think? is that easy to do?

NOOOOOOOO, Don't do that. You need to replace only the accumulators and they are not that costly.
Never disable the hydraulic system from any car. It's safer on the highway plus self-leveling.

They will last forever if you are not abusing the car. And yes it's recommended to bleed the system.
