I've done the rear accumulators before with um, hmm, recycled parts, yeah that's it! Reecycled. Hey For $15.00each, I couldn't pass them up.
They were very easy to do. They came out real easy. Anyway, will be doing them tomorrow with ne wunits I got from BMA, rain or shine.

the rattle..because everything seems fine in
the front..replaced everything..all bolts torqued
to spec etc. Man..not looking forward to pulling
it apart again..help me Jesus...help me.
Congrats on your suspension. The Accumulators
aren't too bad. You will probably spoil the fitting bolts..don't sweat it..use vice grips if
necessary..don't want to replace the connecting
hoses...they are pricey.
Good Luck..post or e-mail me if you get stuck,

NOOOOO!!

They were on the directions, so I didn't bother checking the Bentley

..when I replaced my original Boge oil shock
inserts with Boge gas inserts (Automatics) I
thought I didn't need to add oil into the strut..
and remembered soaking the oil up inside the strut
with a rag. Well now I have a bit of a rattle on each side also and that very well may be the issue! I rechecked everything and it looks just
right and the car tracks perfectly.
Wonder if that is the problem??
Best Regards,

Did you have to put oil in your struts? I did mine a couple of months ago. I have a slight rattle in the front sometimes. I was advised that I may need to add oil to the strut assembly. I didn't see that in Bentley though. Please advise.

Well it's done. What a PITA. Wow it rides nice in the front now, I feel sort-a invincible. Did a 130 on a test drive and the difference is like nite and day. Will do the rear LADS accumulaors tomorrow. My day ended a bit short. Had to take my 9 year old girl to see Aaron Carter. I think I'm going deaf, havn't been to a concert in 15 years.

If I go get my alignment redone, would it change the geometry if do the accumulators after? Or does it even matter. Have to check the Bentley, but i'm to damn lazy right now. Anyone know the exact weight needed to reset the rear LAD's?

Big Thanks goes out to Gale!! Couldn't have done it without ya bro! P.S. Its back in the mail by Monday. Any requests from San Diego? Before I send it? :)
