Grit…you just described the Edelbrock Performer IAS mono shocke that was the first to have inertia valved shocks.
Had a set and confirm that in slow going…VERy PAINFUL but wonder when driving like Parnell Jones in the desert.
They have the valves on the rod piston and why hey are mounted upside down (rod down). As that is the only way to sense rate of change quickly.
They also leak and think because of the rod down mounting orientation. Switched to KYb MonoMax and they are best for all round usage, IMHO. Bilstein’s don’t do it for me, but many, many swear by them.
Might go back to iAS’s after rebuilding the Suburban to be mainly a pavement vehicle.
Also agre with Grit and the OP should look else where for a fix. Though shocks are cheap enough to try.
