<< I believe I have read somewhere that the there are several
reasons most vehicles went to tube shocks.
1) cost:
2) response: To my mind, the lever shock would have more play
between jounce and bounce because of the design and rocking
factor. It would be similar to determining TDC in an engine. A
piston could be TDC while the crank could be rotated a few
degrees with showing any piston movement. Thus the lever has
some "dead" spots between jounce and bounce.
3) heat: I would think the tube shock is less sentive to heat
retension.
4) travel: I would think the tube shock's greater travel would
produce more uniform results. >>
