[W126 Coupe] Jonathan or anyone regarding shocks/accums rear

[Josh Allen]

Like Markus said, if the rear cylinders aren't leaking, I'd leave them be.

I'd mentioned the hydraulic ram aspect of them a while back, after 
coming across one of the forum members having gotten them rebuilt at a 
local hydraulic repair shop, rather than paying MB's astronomical price 
for a new one.
