I will be honest, Hervery suggested that very thing and you may be 100% correct. However, they were perfect when I had the old struts on, it does not change the fact that there is no dampener to the strut. There needs to be a reversed valve that slows the strut down before it gets to the top. I guess I need to try out a few different models so I can see the difference. - VB >From: Soma576@xxxxxxx >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: RE: [DML] Fw: door lift cylinders >Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 16:25:35 -0500 > > > ><<<If anyone is interested, I can make a video showing how the doors open >with >these >shocks and you can tell me if it is normal or not. > >- VB>>>>> > >VideoBob, > >Are you sure your torsion bars aren't overtightened a notch or two?
