Like the title says, what should I look for when buying a set of used koni yellows? What are some signs of bad shocks? What are some good signs??

oil leaking out from around the shaft, and see if the shaft slowly comes back up after you push it down.

good, if you can freely move the shaft around and it stays in place it means its blown.
