How can you tell if a coilover has blown? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I just swapped my coilovers (Parts Shop Max) from my wrecked car over to my new car. I havent driven on them for a while now since November so I dont exactly remember how the ride is supposed to feel. I know for sure the rears are ok. But on the front even on the softest setting it almost feels like when I hit cracks in the road they pop and you feel it throughout the car. I adjusted them to full stiff to see if there was a difference and honestly it feels the same. One of them actually got stuck and now I cant adjust it down to a softer setting.

Whats a good way to figure out if they are blown?
