Damper Orientation

[chrisj]

This might be a basic question, but are there any issues with using a damper upside down?
I'm using Gaz coil overs and was wondering if they could be used with the adjuster at the top.
Not being 100% of what goes on inside these things, I don't want to risk knackering my dampers incase it causes oil accumulation where I don't want it.

The reason I ask is purely a packaging issue, running the dampers upside down will give me more clearance for what I'm trying to achieve.

Any thoughts?

No idea. But wossiz name who works for/runs/own absolutely shocks should know the answer as they appear to be the/one of the UK distributers.

Gaz are a twin-tube damper, which cannot run inverted.

Can't run those upside down I'm afraid.

Oh well, I'm glad I asked in the first place.

Thanks guys.
