Pros and cons of each? The twin tube provides for a longer piston stroke. A single tube can get around this with a piggy back reservoir. Most cars have twin tube shocks but motorcycles habe single tubes.

on the monotube. you could always add a schrader valve and add or subtract nitrogen. drill out the other side and change the weight value to your liking. weld up the hole. "dont always have to live inside the box!"

You can do the SAME with Twin Tube . Point HERE is that the Monotube is considered the more Responsive type , like for Motorsport , whereas , the Twin-tube design is significantly more ROBUST for Off-Road applications or Heavy Vehicle use . There are , in fact , even Triple Tube types . For Super Heavy Duty .

Would a stored/shelved NOS gas charged monotube lose pressure simply over time?

hello. How could I find out how far away I should leave the separator piston of a monotube shock and at what pressure I should pressurize it?

Beautiful beautiful beautiful explanation sir, I want to know if only mono tube shocks are filled with nitrogen or can twin tubes also be filled with nitrogen. My second question is I have a Toyota Etios whose front shocks dont dampen as good as they are supposed to do , experts say that grade 32 ISO is not suitable for front shocks in Indian driving and climatic conditions but it's okay for rear shocks. They advised me to go for 46 grade ISO oil for my front shock rebuild,what is your suggestion sir.

Twin tubes can have Nitrogen Gas too. Use Struts for front shocks. For better cushion use Sorbotane pads for the Strut Base. Also SuperSprings stubs. Google is your friend

@@saultube44 Thank you brother for your kind reply . I dont understand what are 90/10 and 70/30 shocks which offers a smoother ride As I cant afford for a luxury sedan Full size 5 metres long or the executive sedan 4.75 metres long even not in used condition all I have is sedan under 4.5 metres all I expect is just little comfort

This is a great tool for visualization, still trying to decide which is better. Many people say that mono tube is better, but most affordable adjustable shocks are twin tube. Does it even matter?

The main thing to note Is that one Cavitates where the other doesn’t, and that’s where the true performance happens. Perhaps this would be helpful to explain.

@@skrobie Wikipedia description: "Cavitation is a phenomenon in which the static pressure of a liquid reduces to below the liquid's vapour pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities in the liquid. When subjected to higher pressure, these cavities, called "bubbles" or "voids", collapse and can generate shock waves that may damage machinery."

Pretty sure the air will mix with the oil when the fluid and material get hot from rapid action. If the rod seal leak, air will leak into the oil and thats the end of the shocks.

Wrong and wrong. Either type can be built to be very soft or very stiff. Monotube can actually feel more comfortable in many cases, because they’re able to react quicker to inputs.
