    Hey guys. I did some rear work on my 2016 TRDORDC today and noticed something a bit weird. I have 5160's in the back and when I compressed them (off truck by hand) they had no rebound in them. I had to pull the strut out by hand. Is this normal? On the truck the struts seem fine. No bouncing or weird movements. They have about 35k miles on them.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    No, they should definitely return to full extension on their own.

    They are probably low on nitrogen and on their way out.
