I scored a set of 89 Carrea Boge struts to use my 914 inserts in.Pulled the 89 insert out looks like the valving set up used in motorcycle front forks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Anyway my 914 insert fits in ok just got to come up with centering rings for the insert , my question is do I fill with some kind of coolant , the Paragon article states either oil or antifrezze , or is this not neccesary for a sealed insert unit ??

Unless your racing, how much heat do you think your shocks will generate?

QUOTE(cwpeden @ May 23 2009, 01:34 PM)  Unless your racing, how much heat do you think your shocks will generate? Our roads aren't as good as they are in BC apparently. Shocks oscillate thousands of times per minute creating lots of heat. Racing could even be better as the asphalt is often better and the transitions smoother. |
