Maybe the KYB's that I have compress down with a floor jack but still seems weird to me. As I've already mentioned the shocks may not even be bad. I'm chasing noises and throwing money at it. Pushing on the front fender or bumps in roads does not produce bounce like you'd expect worn out ones to be. I don't even think the knuckle of the upper arm is bad cause when I stick tire iron under lifted tire it producers no clicking noise.
Did they come with a strap on them to keep them compressed?
When I did my front and rear shocks, I kept the shipping strap on them. I pushed the strap off of the top bolt and let it sit on the lower rubber bumper. Then I put the shock in place and bolted it to the lower control arm. Then I cut the shipping strap and guided the top bolt of the shock into the hole in the shock tower. The I put on the top rubber bumper, then the washer, then I had to jack up the lower control arm so that I would have enough threads to put on the nut.
This is all in the links that I sent before. Here are the links. Read the rear shocks first and you'll see how I did them all. I hope this helps.
