w123 self levelling suspension

[dave dove]

hi
i've just rebuilt the suspension on my 230te. shox,springs,spheres and rebuilt the height box using mb rebuild kit. the suspension is still down on the right. this was the problem i had hoped to cure. am i missing something? do i need to prime the system? i have tried bleeding it..different pump...brand new springs etc. i have just jacked it up on stands and removed the shox. the right shock had very little oil in(hte left was full) so i ran the engine and it took a while for the oil to reach the end which is why i assume there is some procedure. i had to stop there and haven't found time to return so am posting this in hopes of enlightenment
in hope

Hi

The vehicle should sit normally on the springs. Did you use original MB springs. I have found the non genuine springs very poor.

hi andy
i have not had chance to get back to it so it is still up on stands, but i was going to check that next. the springs are Boge but not supplied by MB. All other parts are genuine. I am hoping that now i have oil jetting from both feed pipes from the spheres to shox that after checking spring height if i top up the shox before fitting the pipes that this should get it going. Do i need to run the engine at a higher rpm to bleed the system?
thanx 4 your support
