When and why is the upper seal cap designed to be removed - to fix the strut? I was under the impression that the strut usually needs full replacement if damaged (and in pairs).
In terms of pressure, I also wonder about the plastic tube feeding the strut via the valve - how much pressure is actually produced in the strut? The clear plastic tube doesn't seem to need to handle high pressure - right? what does the valve actually do? help to get air into the high-pressure strut from the low-pressure tube?
Sorry for all the questions - just trying to understand and properly fix the problem. |
I would also like an answer to this question! Very good
