Harsh ride on my 600 coupe even after changing spheres
hi, i recently changed the two nitrogen spheres on my rear suspension hoping this would improve the ride quality, but it is still harsh over the bumps, the only change is the car feels firmer when i push down on the shocks from the back corners. the ride quality is very harsh and bumpy...suggestions?

Newbie too. Old newbie.
That's exactly what I'm doing here also. Harsh ride in the rear of the '96 S500 Coupe'. Bought it about 10 years ago with 37,000 miles on it. Nearly pristine condition. A Palm Springs Golf Cart. A Seattle attorney just traded it in and wrote a check for $285,000.00 for a new Bentley. Still a very nice looking modern car. Anyway, I thought it needed rear shocks from the get-go. Turned out it was one or two spheres. New ones didn't do ****e. 70,000 miles later it still needs rear shocks. Any ideas would be most appreciated.
