I recall a mis-matched set of used and new accumulators going in. Can't recall
how many years ago it was. The advice of the list (as I remember) was that the
used accumulator would shorten the life of the new one. I'm thinking thats the
case here...

The original accumulators were good for 5 years or so. The new ones are
somewhat
variable.
The only way you'll get cushioning out of the struts is from the rubber mounts,
unless there is air trapped in them somehow.
I seem to recall something wrong with the way the work was done a couple of
years ago but don't remember details.
