Default Blown Shock

Has anyone else ever seen this? Took the stock shock off the car and compressed it and it’s stuck. Won’t rebound back at all. My car only has 80k and has been on the stock suspension it’s whole life. Hard to believe it would be this shot after only that amount of miles

It should rebound fairly quickly. Its a monotube with a strong air spring.

80K miles is early...but oh well....maybe its worn out.

somehow it’s the only one. It won’t rebound no matter how hard I try. I ordered koni yellows to replace them because I’m mating them to swift spec R’s anyways. Oh well

It happens. Not common but not that unusual.
