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. -- Neil n VE7TBN 1988 Westy 50º ABA swap: https://tinyurl.com/yap5hpwt 1981 Westy 15º ABA swap: https://tinyurl.com/y9n4xob8 VAG Gas Engine Swap Group <http://tinyurl.com/khalbay>
