[W126 Coupe] new accumulators

[Markus Meyer]

 Hi everyone, I just finished replacing the accumulators and strut bushings on the SEC yesterday.  What a difference!  Since many of the roads I drive happen to be decent roads, I hadn't noticed things were getting worse.  Then I happened to go to Lowe's one day to pick up a couple hundred pounds of rock salt, and realized the rear end didn't rise after starting the car.  Then I took some bumpy roads and noticed how harsh the rear end had become.  So, to the archives where I found some info (thanks Nathan and Talbir), asked some questions, made and took a few phone calls (thanks Mike and Satish), bought the needed parts (thanks Gary Knox and local dealer), jacked up the car and did the job.  I have to say it was much easier than I anticipated.  Flushed the fluid and replaced the fluid while I was in there, and now the car rides great again.  Now I just have to flush the coolant and brake fluid and I can get rid of my SEC to do list for now. That's why I love this list - when 
its time to do stuff, you first off get the info to figure out what is wrong, then the advice and guidance to go fix it! Thanks everyone, and enjoy your Sunday! Cheers,Markus (riding smooth again) Markus Meyer484-919-9762 (cell)http://www.meyerprobateproperties.com/
