I took old my front driver side shock thinking it was bad but when I compress the shock by hand, to test it, it expanded on its own with no problem (a little bit slow).

The main reason why I thought the shocks were bad was because the LCA rubber bump stop seems to be hitting the UCA a lot. To a point where the metal area is polished smooth.

So now I'm confused . Is it possible the shocks are bad without any visual indication.

Kenny.
