hey guys i was wondering if any of you could help me out. i replaced the shocks on my S500 like no less than two weeks ago. even after that, my car is still really bumpy on the roads. even when the car is in park, i can feel the car vibrating. does anyone know if it might have something to do with the way i installed the shocks?

Do you have ADS and/or self leveling suspension? You would know as the shocks are really hydralic struts with hydralic lines connected to them.  This is the hydropneumatic self-levelling system with resovoir spheres. If yes, bleeding the hydralic system will be required. Send me an email I can provide the info.
 
If non ADS/leveling shocks and you installed OEM shocks, they will be stiff for a while. Are the shock mounts ok?
