	Has anyone converted the rear of their W124 from self leveling to ordinary shockers? One of the self levelers on mine has snapped the end off, can only get ordinary ones today and I want to get home from work! Straight swop and blank off the hoses? Thankyouplease.

	IIRC don't the W124s run spheres in the rear for the self levelling or is it all done by the shocks? Personally I'd probably wait and buy a proper self leveller . My last car (an '05 Mondeo V6) had almost nothing on the shelf for the engine, and most of it being dealer only.

	As above, wait and get the correct shock. A standard shock wont fit your lower arm anyway.
