I have a 1998 E300 td estate with the self adjusting rear shock absorbers . I topped up the power steering tank with oil supplied by German Swedish French after being told it was correct , but after a little while the shocks did not work and i got a pair off a scrap car , but when I started dismanteling the old ones they seemed to be full of foamed oil . I did replace one shocker but the suspension on both side is nearly bottomed out I was wondering if I was given the wrong oil and does anyone know how to bleed out all the old oil and replace with the proper stuff ,Incidently the power steering seems to be working fine Regards Woody of Poole
