This is the single spring with pneumatic assist in front of the rear tire. It seems to get worse when the temp gets below freezing so I believe a seal must be shrinking. Has anyone had any experience servicing one of these? I do most of my own service but if it takes $200 in special tools I would rather get it done. If I can do it myself right or wrong I only have myself to blame. Any comments? Rick Schieve ...ihnp4!ihu1g!rls
