  Hi, My '40 Houdaille shocks have much more resistance in one direction than the other, can anyone tell me if this is normal? Thanks, Steve

  This is normal - Houdaille's were designed as '1-way' shocks. The 'bump' stroke should exhibit much easier and lighter resistance than the 'rebound' stroke which should be quite stiff.

  Thank you, that is what I was hoping to hear.
