Totally wrong....if you push down hard and let up, good struts will rebound once and maybe a little shake....bad struts will allow the car to keep bouncing. There is no way a car will rebound "slowly" as you say, because the spring pops it right back up....

You can also have a seized strut where it wont bounce at all, but what Ef ***** sid is true, it will bounce like a caddy.

If you have the strut off the car and you push it in it should come back out. If you push it in and it stays in it's bad.
