W124 Rear Suspension Hop

I have a 1990 300e that needs some rear suspension work. Currently I am experiencing a slight hopping sensation over expansion joints on the road, that makes the back end skip. With limited funds, would you do the shocks first or the rear suspension links? Will eventually do both, but funds are tight right now.
Thanks

Have also a look to the thrust rod it may be worn out.
The consequences are that the related tire worns very very rapidely.
good luck

How many miles on your 300E? I replaced the rear shocks on my '92 300E at 104,000 when I bought the car. Found one of the shocks was leaking and completely shot. Just did a web search at www.*************** for your car. The Boge (which I installed on my car) are $63 each and shipping is free.
