OK, I might have confused myself (not difficult) but am looking at replacing the front shock absorbers (struts) on my 2007 Ducato X250 motorhome. Probably also fit new springs (another story) and top mounts.
There appear to be two types of strut, Normal, and Heavy, but I have not seen any good information on what the loadings are for the two types.
When I first had the motorhome I had it on a weight bridge so know that the overall front axle load was 1560Kg, and rear 1720Kg. So 780Kg'ish load on each front wheel.
The only information I have found is for some Schutzatz units from Germany with the caviat of 'only up to 1500kg payload Q15'.
Now does that mean each wheel, or overall front axle (2 wheels) loading ?.

If it is for 'each' wheel then plenty to spare, but if it is for both front wheels then figures are very marginal.
Anyone got a better idea on loadings than I have ?.
