Answer
Hi Stephen,, Those absorbers were designed to take only one hit and It is best advised to replace it with a new one. The seal is most likely broken if it did not return to its original position. Hope this helps in answering your question.You may try to locate one at a salvage yard to keep costs down.Also check the frame rail to see if it was damaged as it may need repairing before another absorber will fit properly...........  Kim
