    NOT a 'shock absorber' it's a damper. The road spring absorbs 'shock' from the road surface and the 'damper' dampens this action.

    No conventional shock/spring combination will ever come close to the ride of the self-leveling suspension. If one can't afford to fix a Mercedes properly, then one shouldn't drive one.
