I went to a shop, recommended by some on this board, ready to have the rear accumulators changed, and the indy, pressed down on the back, told me the rear was "spongey" or something similar, and said there was nothing wrong.

Ride still feels hard as a rock, every little bump, everyhere. Find another mechanic?
