I'm about to replace shocks & struts on my '93 940 Turbo Wagon. The consensus here seems to be go with the gas charged over standard. What is the difference? What are the advantages/disadvantages? It would seem that traditional (oil only) would give more dampening since a fluid cannot expand and compress like a gas. Any input would be appreciated.
