Hi folks.
I appreciate that there's a lot of variables involved with this but....
For a 2wd Westfalia that is sometimes driven on rough bumpy or
washboard type dirt roads, which type of oil + gas charged shock will
likely last longer? Mono tube or twin tube?
My Sachs OE type shocks don't seem to hold up for very long given that
I drive on bumpy dirt roads at times. I don't want to spend a lot of
money and will sacrifice ride comfort for a shock that might last
longer.
Given what I've read, it seems that a mono tube design shock is
simpler in design, might shed heat better, and tends to be used on
trucks so may last longer.
Thanks,
Neil.
