300te rides like a tank!!!
1989 300te...new accumulators in the rear (last summer)...new shocks up front. The car rides ROUGH...very still rear. If I hit a bump/ hole/ undulation, the back feels like I have concrete shocks... I think, once upon a time, this car was a luxury to drive, now it feels like a tank. Any hints?

Is the SLS still working? Have you checked the shocks in the rear?

Is there a way to actually 'check' the SLS? I know that there are no leaks...
