Default KYB AGX question

Hey guys, I am about to install my KYB AGX shocks and I did a test between them. I compressed the front shocks all the way down and then released them. One shock decompresses faster than the other. It's a pretty significant difference. I made sure that all the shocks were on the same setting too.

Pretty much the samething happens between the front shocks and rear shocks

Does that mean that one of the shocks is blown?? Do these shocks have a lifetime warranty??

I don't know for certain, but when you change the stiffness settings, it's possible it would need to oscillate several times before the valves inside set themselves fully to the new position. Just a thought - I'd call KYB & ask them.

I think they have to settle for a while. I would wait till you put them in and drive around. I had a little problem with mine at first but they settled down.

Its really rare that you would get a blown shock from the factory

I found out today that there is a lifetime warranty on the shocks if you have your receipt.

My shocks were not new. The seller that i bought them from said they only had 10K miles on them.

I am going to take them by a certified retailer for KYB shocks to see what they say.
