I know this post is old, but no one has replied and I like bringing closure to issues that might plague others. Replacing the accumulators will improve your harsh / solid dampers. This is essentially the same as on the older self leveling systems, but mounted remotely. There's 3 accumulators in...

I'll get in touch with admin, I was unsure!

the type of noise will gove a better idea of what you are dealing with. If its a low groaning noise its diff or tyre related.
