Thanks for the reply Doc.

I read cgoodwin's "Hydramatic suspension education" and other posts, so I have a good understanding of the system.

I'll suggest the reshimming to the mechanic. Hopefully, he can level the left to right sides. My wife mentioned that "we" also sag a little to one side at our age. Two days ago, I tried to remove the accumulators myself, but didn't have the strength to undu the 10mm allen for the hydraulic line. Working on my back in my patio/car port repair facility can have its limitations.

On my 94 e320 Wagon, each accumulator has 3 nuts on underside and the accumulator is lifted up and into the cargo area between the second and third seats.

PS Thanks for all the previous help, especially cleaning the egr and diagnosing & R&Ring the throttle body. Engine running fine, now onto the suspension. I even R&R'ed the tranny fluid. Drain plugs for pan & torque converter! What a great idea! Another one of those little things you get with a Benz.
