    Look back a page or a few months and I said to check for vacuum leaks.

    Had this same problem with my mom's Mercedes last week. They took it to the dealer and they wanted $7,500 to replace two shocks and hydrualic suspension pump. I got involved to talk to the tech and he said that might not fix all of it. Service manager didn't know anything about how the suspension worked. Had my parents pick it up and take it to an independent in Frisco. For $90 bucks he fixed the wires on top of the shock tower the rats ate through, but it still needed a shock. So out the door for $2,100 and works perfect. One shock is the same as our limit for all 4! Gotta love German engineering.

    I did and the damn rodents chewed through another hose! And, of course, it was way up under the cowl next to the firewall.
