The air is just additional support when adding weight. The air does tend to force the oil into the actual shock, tho. They should technically be firmer/harder on the downstroke tho....being weak in that direction kinda defeats the whole purpose of them. It's possible the valving inside is gummed up, or otherwise faulty. Then again, they may not work right unless quickly moved in/out, as they would be on the vehicle. I can't remember how mine were on The Turd when I redid them either time. Guess I wasn't really even checking the actual up/down damping function.....doh!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
