Note:
When testing and evaluating gas pressure shock absorbers, a fundamental difference between two designs must be made. Difference refers
to expansion and to the separation of oil and gas chamber.
Gas pressure shock absorber with separating piston between oil and gas chamber (Bilstein, F & S starting November 1980).
Installation position of shock absorber with piston rod in upward direction.
Gas pressure shock absorber without separating piston between oil and gas chamber (F & S up to October 1980 and Boge).
Installation position of shock absorber with piston rod in downward direction.
