I was under the car a moment ago and did not see any rear spring spacers, so I figure that was really a suspension accumulator. I think the pitch and bobing is a characteristic of this car, particularly with the miniture rear anti-sway bar I saw today.
I'm to to search!
The rear accumulators should be replaced in pairs. It sounds like they might have adjusted the threaded rod to raise the rear up. If you put weight in the car and it is running or when you start it up, the rear should come back up to where it was before the weight was added.

I have the diesel version and I don't consider my ride to be pitching and bobbing; although it might feel that way compared to a 190.

The air cell (accumulators) part numbers are
124 320 03 15
replaced by 140 328 02 15
replaced by 140 328 05 15

If your work order has that number on it then those numbers may help.
