that's exactly why Thumbs Up cold air is less compressible, also the oil in the dampers has a higher viscosity therefore is less likely to transfer between the chambers either side of the damper piston

If any one wants / needs uprated dampers (shock absorbers) I can supply and / or fit Wink

New ARB bushes under warranty made a drastic difference to mine which had the symptoms you describe.

Err not going to solve your problem, however since coming back from Morocco the ride was notabily different to that going out. I now need a new suspension compressor 2 months after the trip, however i think of it like an elastic band, if you keep pulling it, or in this case compressing it, after a while it will deform and will never go back to normal. not a technical term but i think the principle works.

hope you sort it dunc.
