In one of the articles it says it has a hydraulic lockout . I’m another it says it has no damping .

Very confusing

I'm confused, too. A hydraulic damper uses a valve to control the flow of liquid between two chambers as the damper is extended/compressed. A hydraulic lockout works by locking a valve shut to prevent a liquid from flowing between two chambers, preventing the extension/compression. It's hard to build a hydraulic lockout that doesn't have at least some damping when it isn't locked out.

You are correct. I think the notes about east rebuildsmake it sound like no hydraulic circuit.

Maybe the hydraulic lockout is a typo? But then it would need a pneumatic lockout?
