strut question
I installed 90/10 struts today and after the install wondered if I have to pump them before install?or will normal driving do it?

most shocks come with a band holding the shaft about half way down.If not familiar with the 90/10's so what do you mean when you say "pump" them. Is this something you have to do with this particular shock?

I've never heard of having to pump them, I bought mine new and it didn't say anything about pumping them.
OP did you buy them new or used?

Brand new from jegs about a year ago...
I was just curious because I seen a white warning sticker on it that had something about pushing the strut down and twisting it or something?

Thats if the strut was compressed in the box. Some cases they are, but if they bolted up with no issues then just drive around you're fine
