As an at home DIY mechanic, this gave me ease after opening the box to my shocks! Thank you!

Why im i able to compress down a shock absorber if its new? I tought it would of taken more lbs of pressure maybe in the thousands.

I bought 2 konis shocks , both identical for the rear of my Acura TL and 1 extends and the other is super slow at extending. And koni won't trade it out. He gave me a long drawn out answer. Meanwhile both my KYB shocks extend after I compress them. BOTH of them do. Not just 1 or the other. It just means both shocks are not the same. This video is a published excuse

Not fully true. All gas shocks have pressure to automatically extend the shock absorber. When a shock is compressed and does not extend at all it usually means there is a issue with the gas and fluid being mixed or bad valve. Shocks are ment to automatically extend and compress during load use. If the shock collapses on its own or little to no pressure put on it, it's not doing it's job at all. Some shocks require priming is tou received them and they sat on their sides for a long time causing the gas and fluid to mix. To prime or check rod reaction on shocks or struts, follow these steps: Make sure the unit is at room temperature Cycle the unit from full extension to full compression two to three times with the rod facing up. Fully compress the unit and allow the rod to extend on its own. This should require less than 45 seconds on a unit with normal gas pressure and up to two minutes for a low gas unit. (Avoid using excessive force to compress the unit - it could damage the valving.) Once the unit is primed, there should be no lag in control or dead spots while cycling the unit through its complete stroke. If the unit fully extends to these specs, it is considered fully functional and is ready to be installed.
