1991 560 SEL, Hard Gas Pedal
 
I have a 1991 560 SEL, its gas pedal is hard. What can I do to resolve that problem? Also car bounces when driven.

I thought they were all hard? Maybe you should take a look at the pedal itself. Or look at the linkage.

lube linkages with ATF.

"lube linkages with ATF". But what kind of ATF?

Larry Delor 07-04-2008 11:11 PM

Whatever kind of ATF you have around the house. If you don't have any, buy the kind your transmission uses.
Alternatively, you could use a little bit of lithium grease - pop the ball and socket link, and dab a little on there.

Yep the FSM says you are supposed to lube the throttle links like once a year, along with the doors and locks. No one does though.

I find a Q tip works great.

What bounces? Seats? Front end? Rear?

Larry Delor 07-05-2008 12:51 AM

I'd guess the rear, since the 560's have that self leveling hydraulic gadget. Might want to check the reservoir.

Mine is the rear as I need accumulators, but his description was vague.
