KYB AGX - Blown or Not?

[Slateboy]

I've heard some bad stuff about AGX struts blowing prematurely. I pulled all my struts to check their condition (on ground controls....mmmm) and when you depreass the cylider they don't push themselves back out with much enthusiasm.

The adjustability still funcitons, and they're not loosey goosey. Their ability to push the cylinder back out on their own is just slow. Is this normal?

i had one that blew in like 6 months on eibach pro-kits. i just decided to shell out the money for some koni yellows and ground controls

ya, slateboy, i think that's normal for used shocks.
and they're not blown.
if they were blown, they would be really easy to push up and down, and your car would bounce like crazy.

Is it ok to ride on a blown shock? Mine just blew out last night, all the fluid poured out of that damn thing. Almost spilled on the inner rim, good thing I cleaned it up. Anyways, is it ok to drive on the blown shock? Will it cause any more damage?
