1990 DL245

I just got my parts for the front end, and rear shocks from Tasca. The strut inserts are marked Monroe made in Spain, the rear shocks are stamped Volvo and made in Belgium. Having no experience with either, I compressed the front strut insert, and it attempts to return to extended but only moves a bit from the bottom of its stroke. However, they appear to have equal resistance when I force them to compress and pull them to extend. The shocks appear to act likewise. I hope this normal behavior, if not please advise.
