I'm after a shock absorber that has the same resistant's to compress as to extend .

This is not for a 4wd or any car it's to limit the tilt on a pivoting platform.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.I fitted a second hand shocker to the platform and it works well on the extension but compresses too quickly.

Cheers Scoof..

Have you thought about a gas strut similar to boot or bonnet struts?

Any old steering damper is equal in both directions.
A gas strut is not. It pushes in one direction only.
