111 sec question
forum,i am in the process of rebuilding a 1969 280sec and the rear end sags bad, there is a spring/hydrolic device mounted horziontal toward the rear passenger wheel,could some one help me identify?
i looked on fast line and dont see it listed in parts. also have a 1970 coupe and it is different. am i stuck with having to replace the device,will the later differentals like 280se (72-73) replace this style? any help is appreciated. larry perkins lou ky

Hydro-compensator..
Replace with a compensating spring kit from a 108.. Do a search on compensating spring Item #90 on this site ..go to rear axle insert http://www.sls-hh-catalogue.de/bin/dbframes.phtml?mid=IN02

lol,i have been driving it in my neighborhood,need to get that rear end to settle down,too much bounce for the interstate.
on the 70 280sec i have, shouldnt i just take the spring assy and install it in place of the hydro unit? i am sticking to the house today,blood already got thinned down with the early spring temp,so will look at the conversion when it warms up a bit,your opinion appreciated. larry perkins lou ky

Yes , that is what you do..junk the hydro and put in the spring unit.most guys get one from a scrap yard 108 chassis..but if you have an Sec there with the spring set-up, that will fit.. almost all swing axles came with the spring..the hydro was put in some of the S class chassis, and was an option on some late SLs
Hydropneumatic compensator Go here and click on rear axle..it shows both the hydo and the coil modification kit { Item # 91] http://www.sls-hh-catalogue.de/bin/dbframes.phtml?mid=IN09 Last edited by Arthur Dalton; 04-15-2007 at 02:38 PM.
