Shocks are designed to be somewhat pliable in order to absorb the impacts of bumps and other irregularities on the road. Depending on the design, it is normal for shocks to be relatively easy to compress by hand. However, if you notice any leaking fluid or concerning noises coming from your shocks, they may need to be inspected and/or replaced. It is always best to consult with a mechanic before attempting any repairs on the suspension system.
