I can apply pressurr to on shock and it flexs with resistance (like i would expect). Is this normal that i can flex this shock by hand?
Anothet shock moves at pivot but i cant apply enough pressure to get the above result is this normal versus the above being wornout?
Im not familiar with the baseline as to what is standard for operation.
Thanks for the insight

With very little pressure there is little resistance. A harder force creates greater resistance. | | |
