I hope this is the right forum to paste this question in.
I use a Scott's Steering Stabilizer. The setting that I like the best is to set the low speed control at three clicks from full hard. Basically I use it as a low speed dampener only. My thought was that if I changed the fluid to something with a higher viscosity it would allow me to adjust my low speed control to something more in the middle of it's range, possibly giving me more finite adjustment. I contacted Scott's and their advise was to actually go to a fluid with lighter viscosity. They said it worked backwards from what seems logical.
Has anyone experimented with changing fluid viscosity in a Scott's stabilizer? Even with what Scott's told me it seems to me that it's still just a hydraulic system and a more viscous fluid would give increased dampening.
Does anyone have any experience with this subject?
