    This is a guess, but.....
    Are there some models that are just plain shocks and others that have a
    self-levelling " feature"? I'd guess that, knowing M-B, there is. I doubt
    they'd be like the self-levelling strut in the 110, as that was self-powered
    by the vehicles up-and-down motion IIRC, more likely to be plumbed into a
    compressor?
    Any use?
    I guess Dad will need to check his model specs...
