New Old Konis

I came across a set of 2001 koni yellows practically for free. How can I tell if they are blown without putting them on my car?

dopes6070 has a reputation beyond repute

they should be hard to compress by hand and when you let go they should slowly extend fully again.

They are all compresible by hand, but one of the rears extends slower than the other. Does that mean anything or is it just on a different setting?

prolly just a different setting. you should have to put quite a bit of weight on them to compress them.

Even if they are blown, Konis are rebuildable.
