Richard, Thanks for the info. So, your car was also bouncy when the spheres needed to be replaced? I thought that the failure mode for those was a hard ride, not bouncy. Is there some valving that goes on inside those? I think that their function in the system is basically the same as shock absorbers in a normal suspension set-up, so it would make sense that they would have some valving like a shock absorber.
Thanks also for the invite, but I'd rather fix the bouncy ride before towing the boat again, and even your offer of icy beverages won't sway me. It is NOT fun to be in this thing bucking up and down, with a 2000lb sailboat filling the rear view mirror. Very respectfully, /s/ LCDR Meade M.
