Hello Shogun, my '94 740iL I understand has the LADL self leveling rear suspension. I have been getting a serious jolt in my rears when I go over even on shallow pothole or a slight hump, feels like the spare tire is loose on the mount. I filled the reservoir with the CHS fluid since it was a little low and I followed the Bentley manual regarding the bleeding procedure. It seems like my rears are riding low so I even tried raising the ride height as per the manual but it did not affect the height at all. Is it possible to replace the cartridge on the rear suspension even if they are hydraulically actuated, or do I have to replace the whole unit (which include the hydraulics)? Is it worthwhile to just scrap the LADL and replace them with regular aftermarket struts? By the way I replaced the stock wheels with the Style 32 17" staggered wheels off of a 2000 540. I know I lost some ride compliance with the change but did it ruin the struts? Your advice is highly appreciated.
