there are 2 types of bouncy... HARSH bouncy as in like having solid struts... and SOFT boat-like bouncy as in no damping, just spring bounce.

if you have a leak you may just be low or bordering on empty, in which case you'll experience the boat-like bounce...

if it's HARSH, then there's no doubt that the accumulators are shot.

take note though that even with shot accumulators, if you have near empty fluid, you'll still experience that boat-like bounce

been there... both cases



ooops... re-read your post... didn't notice the HARD part... ok, you have shot accumulators.
