Another suspect is incorrect fluid fill when the globes were changed. But more likely just needs bleeding. When I had old fluid or more recently worn accumulators the ride was not too stiff but just under damped.

I'm voting for air in the system. Definitely interested to see what it turns out to be!Something that I did notice was that it doesn't always self level after stopping, even if parked on my sloped driveway. I would say 50% of the time it does not. The ahc spheres are genuine Toyota fitted by Toyota dealer, the ride had gotten harsh before replacement, after replacement it was smooth for a short period. Its not harsh all the time, it seems to come good and then goes rock solid to the point where it's shaking everything in the car.
110k milesSounds like a globe internally ruptured? How many miles do you have on her?
Did you really find some for $800? The cheapest I can find is more like $1000.Accumulators very slowly seep their nitrogen past the membrane seal. I say this to help @supercarrera justify replacing all four ($800). Odds are 12 year old accumulators have served their life.
I’ll pm you the eBay seller that I used that is exporting them from Japan.Did you really find some for $800? The cheapest I can find is more like $1000.
