Press on the shock absorber by hand. Under a constant pressure, the piston rod should insert itself to the limit smoothly.
The piston rod will return to its initial position if there is sufficient gas pressure in the shock absorber.
Even if the piston rod does not return to its initial position this does not mean that the shock absorber is faulty as long as there is no oil leak
