On the British cable Tv show where they buy "classic cars" amd then fix amd resell them for a profit, they "restored" a slightly beat up 16 V 190 by converting the SLS to aftermarket shocks and springs Sacre bleu - what sacrilege! Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

I thought I read something about running the suspension full up and full drain with the control valve to run fresh fluid through it. I did that with my 16v, mainly because it felt good watching the car go up and down and reassured me that the hydraulics worked. There is a bleed screw on the control valve under the car. About all you can do with it is bleed air from the wet side of the accumulators though. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
