I had a euro 80 380se It did not have self leveling .My 82 500sel (replacement when got 'T-boned' and walked away!)Did have real self leveling, and it did have nitrogen accumulators.

The euro 4 wheel hydraulic had the accumulators on each wheel plus a mani accumulator.

thanks Brian, would you agree that the accumulators would be the problem if i am getting a very hard rear end ride? It makes a very loud thump when ever you say, hit some kind of pot-hole or rough road...its just really hard! Anyway i think im on the way to a smoother riding SE

Thanks, Scott L.
