[TR] TR4A rear dampers (shock absorbers)

[G.D. Huggins]

I would expect them to be roughly equal.

You might try draining each, inspecting/cleaning the inside "valve", refilling
and checking again.
If they are still not even, then I suspect one of the "valves" is bad.

Right or wrong, I used Harley Davidson fork oil in mine.
