Bilstein 5100 stuck fully compressed
Put my Bilstein’s on this morning and one of the new front shocks - to my own shock - was stuck fully compressed. After a little pulling and jiggling it freed up. I’ve replaced several sets of shocks and have never seen a new one that wasn’t ready to extend once you cut the strap.
Do you think this is a problem? It seems to be expanding and compressing as it should now that I’ve freed it up.

LMAO! It feels like it is working just the same as the opposite side. I’m going to give it a month before I swap my 5200 springs for 5600 springs and if the resistance at that time seems to be equal then I’ll leave good enough alone.
