How to test the shock absorber for proper functioning on 1986 Mazda RX-7?

To check on the shock absorber, place it on its knees and make the piston rod move up and down a few times. A good resistance implies that the job is operating well whereas minimal resistance or quick motion implies a repair or replacement. Surplus fluid on the surface also means that it requires repair or replacement.
