I believe what is happening in your case is the short-circuit of the strut solenoid. almost all the e38s including my own had the wires insulation cracked and the wires touches each other. when  this happen, the solenoid valves either fully open or fully closed. In your case it will be fully closed and cause stiff ride. On top of that, the rear accumulator must have buggered and filled with hydraulic fluid (the same as the power steering). so power steering is not getting enough fluid ... therefore.. no power lahmost people including titan suspension will tell you that u cant repair and just use normal shocks. i fully disagree with that and i have re-done, re-seal and revalved a E38 and its is working like new. also not to forget, heat shrinked all the cracked wires.just need a clever machinist to machine out the retaining clip for the top seal (13mm from the ends)and then replace all the seals. The strut will be 13 mm shorter.. and you get a lowered ride with the same comfort.</blockquote>
