Gas filled shock absorbers

Post by harri46 »

Could anybody tell whether its OK to have a gas filled suspension strut insert alongside a standard insert. I had one side done on the front about 6 months ago but now am going to have the other strut done on the front and am thinking of buying a gas filled strut.

Just want to know is it OK to mix the two on the front?
