New subframe mounts. New Bilsteins will help some. I still remember the
change new Bilsteins made in my 200D years ago. On 110/111 I could tell by
driving them if they had Bilsteins or junk (anything else) The gas
pressure in the shock does exert upward pressure on each mounting point.

Recently I replaced all four shocks on 300Se ; the car stands higher as
compared to before 20mm or so The ride is taut and firm now as compard to
the softy feel before,

My experience with several W126s has been that you can replace the
shocks sub frame and diff monuts all you want and you'll only add a
few mm to the ride height. If she is really ridin low in the rear look
to springs pads or the spings themselves. A quicker cheaper but not so
elegant way of
no bodies etc. Its a 420 so no SLS. It has always been my thought that
if its sagging its usually the subframe mounts etc but wondered if
REALLY REALLY worn out shocks could also cause a sag.

Well, I once removed the rear shocks entirely from the Chicken
Wagon when chasing a mysterious rattle, and I don't recall that
it sat any lower than normal. (Yes, it was the
No. take them out and see if there's a difference. Do the same on a
car with good shocks. See if there's any difference.
I don't think there will be.

Not actually true. Take a new shock and release the restraint. It will
expand and it will require considerable force to compress it. New shocks
exert maybe 30-50 lb of upward force
it's almost never springs. springs is one of the lowest customer
satisfaction items we sell as they almost never fix the problem they are
bought to fix. I dread every time we sell springs as I know that more
likely than not i will have an unhappy customer on my hands. doesn't matter
