Hi Kurtis
I cannot speak for the lever arm shocks but I rebuilt the front McPherson
struts on my 2.5 PI saloon and used ordinary fork oil from the nearest
Motorcycle agent, I also played around with the oil weights until I got what
I wanted from the dampers, firm but still moving, Analysis as follows
5wt did I put anything in this?
10wt did I put oil or water in this!
15wt that's better! Would suit a passive drive something like a 90's toyota
corolla!
30wt Aah yes firm but not bone jarring!
Went with 30wt!

Graham.
