Default laying shocks on side
Basic question. But, hoping I would get more responses in this forum.

I've got an sc10 2wd. I replaced the shock oil in my shocks last night. However, I layed them down on their side overnight. I'm wondering if any air bubbles will get in the shocks from being on their side for too long. I bled the shocks appropriately, and they were fine when I capped and put them back together. Sorry for the basic/probably obvious question.

thanks!

If you got all the air out when you bled them. Then you should have no air in them.
