Kei Office Suspension Question

[TodaAE86]

Hey guys, just picked up used Kei Office Suspension(4 way adjustable) not the XRs. Just wanted to know, How can you tell if a shock is blown or not? I lowered the spring all the way down so I can press down on the shock. when I press down on it, it takes time for it to be pressed all the way down(Set at #4 on shock) when I pull up on it, its just and same and pressing down(needs a bit of force) they dont go back up on their own but they seem to feel "kinda" stiff when pressing down. Kinda hard to explain but can anyone answer this?

one more thing, when I change the shock settins to 1, feels a bit easier to press them down, but they still dont go up on their own

[TodaAE86]

You have to cycle them right side up several times to get the air up top first.

how do u tell if its out of a car

[Dousan_PG]

take it off the car take the spring off (diassemble it) and test it

If they require force to press down and then take their time to extend then they are not completely blown. They could be weak, but they are still working. A blown shock will push down real easy and extend easily. If they are not visibly leaking oil, then just use them.
