yeah, when i took the rear blown shocks out of my infiniti, the piston would pretty much move freely. you could move it up and down like a bike pump and there was no resistance. a good shock should give resistance to any sudden movements, and like chibo said, should have smooth reaction to pressure. they are supposed to move if you push on em, but it should be a very controlled movement.
