Blown front right strut or something else?

My Rex has been riding a little rough here lately. I checked the suspension this afternoon by walking to each corner of the car and pushing down on it. The rear sank down and bounced back up like it was supposed to as did the front left of the car. When I pushed down on the front right, it didn't budge or anything. I tried picking up on the front right and nothing either. Could I have a blown strut? Could it be anything else?

Re: Blown front right strut or something else?

ouch.... That doesn't sound good at all. What could have caused that? Will I be ok to ride on it for a little while until my Tokico spring/strut set comes in?

Fair enough. I'm running OEM struts and springs. Looks like my Rex will be "garaged' for a week or two...
