93 600 SEL Accumulators

I have a 1993 600 SEL I am having problems with the ADS, the suspension is rock hard and the steering has stiffened up. I can feel every grove in the road and it sounds like something is loose in the back end, it rattles. I need to know if anyone can tell me where the accumulators might be so I can check them as the Nitrogen may have leaked out there may be 5 in the system at various points.

Dear confused, post your VIN!!


PS:By they way,if your girlfriend advised your ADS system is\was filled with nitrogen, she needs to read more, the system is hydraulic!!

OK, ,,, The system was checked nothing is broke everything is in tack, bleed the system there was no air in the system, changed the hydraulic fluid, can not find the problem.
I got an answer from another post that it may have accumulators and that the nitrogen may have leaked out, I was also told that there was a nitrogen ball on top of the shock. I know this is not the case because I do not see any nitrogen ball on top of any of the shocks. What do you think? what is causing these shocks to do this??

PS. By the way.... I am the GIRL that is asking the questions and I own this car

I doubt they correctly tested the ADS hydraulic and electrical system---what they did is check for obvious leaks,however did they use a pulse counter and interrogate the diagnostic plug for electrical faults(switches,solinoids bla bla).

You gotta find someone who understands the system and has the diagnostic tools and experience to correctly advise you----all others is spam and post getters or in Ben's Wurld case wooing you with misinformation and trying to get a date!!
