Any suspension gurus out there?

Hey guys, I have a question, is there any way to determine the condition on a used set of coilovers without installing them?

What should I specifically look for?

Are there any obvious indicating signs that they are dead?

Thanks in advance.

look for oil spots and look for dents or scrapes on the actual shaft, if there are dents or scrapes on the shafts then the seals might leak. This pretty much works for all struts/shocks.
