I think my new absorber have fault - fv43576

I have purchase a two new absorber for peugeot 306 rear is twin tube oil damper by KYB, When I press down it should slow return to the normal height is this right? because when I push down it won't move back to normal height both of them. Is this fault? I want to making sure everything is ready before I can take to the garage.

It's a damper, not a spring so it will not return on its own.

Gas pressurised shock absorbers are the ones that normally return to full length after you compress them, as above the standard type don't.
