I have a 2003 Sl500 and my rear end when I hit a bump it bouces, ill be driving and out if no where I hit something and the rear end bounces like crazy do you know what might be causing this issue.???
bc i don't really feel like paying $5,000+ just to have everything rebuilt..

I think your fault is more likely to be a faulty ABC acceleration sensor rather than a mechanical one

Trying to diagnose issues on ABC without reading error codes and live data is like trying to pick winning lottery numbers.
