[W126 Coupe] Self leveling and alingment

[Markus Meyer]

I don't think there is much, if any adjustment in the rear that can be made
without a camber kit.  But, that begs the question, is there something amiss
that needs to be addressed first?  Broken/sagging spring comes to mind - at
that mileage, if they are original, they should probably be replaced.
That's a lot of years/mileage that 4000 pounds has been putting on them.
Spring cups should be replaced at the same time.  Not sure what the
struts/accumulators would have to do with anything except not keeping the
rear ride height correct.  Is it off side to side, or just sagging overall
in the rear, or neither?
