Like it or not my budget is tight to the point of putting just one

Its viscosity is unknown and may be far too 'heavy' for a suspension
application. It doesn't have anti-foaming properties which is very
important to maintain consistent damping rates during a journey.

ATF is only £2 - £3 a litre.

My knees have stayed still.
