one of my yr 2000 e320 wagon has a bouncy rear end (we have 2) - and i'm hearing that it's due to the accumulator. how much is that to replace? i'm hearing about $500?

also, i stopped by an independent last week and he was showing me another wagon that need the "hydrolics" because it's leaking and the entire job he's quoting $1500.

i'd like to keep my car a bit longer for $500...but not really that excited about paying $1500 for it because it's nice to do, but not really required.

any thots?
