okay, so since my '80 300 TD sags a couple inches all the time, i've been reading posts about the self-levelling suspension for an hour now.

she's been constantly saggy ever since the turnbuckle linkage thingy popped off when i hit a bump flyin' down the highway. she started bucking like a bronco, and i pulled off an exit, barely crawled myself under her low rear, and pushed the linkage back on with a pair of pliers. she raised up immediately, but seems to never have gone back to full height. i wonder if the turnbuckle just screwed or unscrewed a bit, and just needs to be adjusted to get her back up to right.

while i'm at it, i wanna change fluid + filter, b/c i have no knowledge of it being done in her past...

reading all these posts is interesting, BUT i still don't know the answer to a simpler question:

1. what is the fluid capacity of the system when you want to change the fluid and filter?
2. how do you drain the fluid and flush the system?
