This is an original Citroën suspension. MB bought it for this model.
You will find the same in the high end Citroën models and Rolls Royce rear.
All Citroen patent

@zagyex Correct, MB just reworked for 6.9
-
check Claude Lelouch - Rendezvous. it was made with such a car!
-
@2jzgtejza80 This suspension was developed by citroen in 1955 and before, and licenced to Mercedes Benz and Rolls Royce.

Very, very nice car dude!
-
One of the true great cars besides the famous 6.3. I just love those European headlamps.
-
Is this stock Mercedes W116 6.9 suspension?
-
@watchallnet Cheers for clearing that up. :)
-
@Glitchhog No, no worries MB developed a own hydraulic support suspension system which had been prior used in MB Ambulances on the back wheels. This MB system works different to that which was in use on 6.3 and 6.9 models (Citroen derivate of the hydroneumatic suspension system)
There is a significant difference between Hydropneumatic and just Hydraulic systems
Cheers

@nbharakey true true the suspension on MB 6.3 and 6.9 are just support, as regular springs are still in use, just having the shocks replaced.
Sure, nothing beats Citroen CX, DS, ID, C6 ultimate driving comfort, despite that other good car manfuctures are about...

yes indeed, the 6.9 had a hydropneumatic suspension from factory

@glitchhog I have a feeling that yours is modified. My car does not change height with speed, it does however, self level when more load is added.

200,000km if accurate is not too many, the problem is that it is difficult to know exact kms.
The suspension, if left to loose all pressure will be quite low, only perhaps 8cm from chassis to ground, Driving like that is very uncomfortable.
It can be expensive to maintain because the parts are exclusive to the model, some are shared with the 6.3 and some with the 116 series but many are unique and therefore expensive.
Bon Chance

you can up or down the car by the touch of a button?
josemanuel599 1 year ago
@josemanuel599 Yes, there is a button that is pulled or pushed in the dashboard which allows the suspension to go up or down.

No, the 280SE had springs. This suspension was only available for the 6.9
