You might need to disconnect them to operate by hand to check their operation, assuming they are topped up of course.

Evening Richard,
I did check the operation of the shock absorbers when I dropped the axle for wedge fitting. Did this by disconnecting the drop arm and manually tested that their was resistance to upward and downward force.
Maybe not very scientific but there was what seemed like an equal resisitance.
