That’s hydraulic. It’s 10 cm long cylinder where as the mechanical one looks like a pulley

thats pretty cool. i didnt know that. thank you for your help. really describing it makes easier to visualize.

1998 S70/C70/V70/XC/R:

Added this info to the “ bastards thread “ so that Rick never has to search for this again
