Hey guys!

On my 1990 560SEL, its got a hydraulic rear suspension in it. The hydraulic line has a leak in it somewhere. i plan to get that fixed next summer as the old girl is being put away for the canadian winter here next month. Ive noticed though, when i top up the hydraulic fluid, while the rear ride IS improved, it still bounces more than it seemingly should when its full. Just wondering, do you think i should get her rear end looked at? could somthing maybe be worn out?

Need input!

Thanks guys :)

I have been to Calgary at -50c nice place, re the car, its more than likely that the seals and O rings need replacement. In the states you can get re con units for the rear end.
