It is the check valves that determine which shocks work clockwise or counter. The check valves close on the down stroke so that there is more resistance on the down stroke.

Neat info....

I searched all over the "home" site. I can't seem to find any other "A" stuff. Is that it, or am I search impaired? Thanks

What fluid should I use in filling my shocks? The article just says "Use Genuine Houdille Fluid only"

There appears to be a few incorrect listings for the 28-31' shocks and parts in this Houdaille Manual shown in the provided link.
