A freshly opened Princess/Maxi Hydragas unit which had failed and was leaking. The ruptured fluid diaphragm and outer diaphragm with damaged bead and de-lamination can clearly be seen. There’s no perishing of these components, this damage has been caused by using the car with no gas in the top chamber, normally a unit like this would have been scrapped but it will now receive new replacement diaphragms, be tested and then returned into service. The long term future of Hydragas suspension is assured with us
