How easy should it be to compress the strut piston? I can fully stroke it in under 1/2 second, however to pull it back out (in rebound) it takes several seconds. Is it knackered or is it normal to be much stiffer in rebound?

Rebound is the most important aspect of damper action and is usually set considerably higher. What was the fault that required removal of the strut?
