to check the shock, remove it and push down the cylinder and see if it rebounds and comes back up.
also, you may have touched the shock cylinder with your tools and put a gouge in them or nicked them causing them to blow. back in the day my brother-in-law took his car to greg(banana) to install his shocks. there was a sticker on the shock that said "do not touch cylinder with tools". instead of that bastard using a allen key to keep the cylinder from spinning while he put on the top nut, he used a pair of vise-grips on the cylinder to keep it from turning, the shocks blew out on the way home.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.
