300te rear question
I replaced the accumulators in my 1989 300te today. Not too bad...but now, there is a really loud clunking from the right rear over bumps... I did not notice anything loose when I was in there. Does this sound like something familiar? Never clunked before!

It is likely that you forgot to tighten one of the accumulators, or maybe something is loose in the rear storage near the spare or jack.

Did you bleed the system? It is self-bleeding over time and air takes a while to get out but its a good idea to manually bleed it just after doing the N2 cells.

All done...I found a leak in one of the lines going to the doo-hicky that has the lever that raises and lowers the rear (Note the tech names I use). Snugged that line up...drove the car and the clunking disappeared. Thank you all for the support.
Now, on to the timing cover leak.
