S550 Suspension?/problem

I was driving my 07 S550 on a somewhat rough freeway and it seemed to over compensate when going over bumps/etc. It is hard to explain but it felt like the rear of the car would hit a bump and swing one way then the suspension would try to prevent it. Sounds weird but it just did not feel right. It was like I said, the airmatic was over compensating for the rough road. Anyone else ever feel this? I will eventually go to the dealer but I want to be able to describe it in a better way so they do not think that I am nuts. Thanks.

I wonder if this fix would solve my problems?

airmatic control unit as per DTB T-B-32.22/66D. Replaced ECU.
Pulled fuse as per diagnostic procedure of DTB, road test.


I own a good amount of sports cars and I am just curious if other people thought they had any issue with the way the airmatic over corrects on a rough road. Thanks.

IMO.. NO Mine feels like a truck on rough roads. I do adjust the suspension to tighten it up by switching the control settings.

It does feel better when I put it in Sport mode. Is there a software update for the suspension? I will have to call my dealer and find out.
