No, it's not bouncing at all. It was actually fine with the old shocks, but I just wanted to change them because I knew they were originals.

It took me an hour and 15 minutes to change them which I don't feel was too bad since I had never done any before. Since I changed them in my garage I had to jack up one side at a time. That's obviously more time consuming.

The "feeling" whilst driving can be influenced by the shocks but I get the impression on most Mercedes cars there's a lot of rubber bushings in the suspension that can do more for that feeling.
