Default Bumper shock rear collapsed

Removed my bumper and found passenger side shock collapsed. The other side seems ok but would like to make sure how does this look? Anyone have one for sale?

it would be best to replace both sides as they are single use only, once they have been collapsed they are toast.

The drivers shock has room to compress is there a way to measure the length to see if it is really bad. I have spent too munch money already on things that only matter to me.

I had 2 that were collapsed I managed to pry them back to full length. They will now easily compress fully closed, so there isnt any 5mph protection

I am still not sure what shock to order, Pet shows for an 86 mine is an 84 it shows 928-505-015-02 is this correct? It seems a lot of things are different on this euro, once I know what to order I can decide if the free offer is good.
Thanks

you may be looking at the Euro stand offs, these are not shocks but a solid connection to the body.
If you order these shocks 928 505 017 02 they look like the correct part, many people that have spare parts should have a few laying around and the front and backs are the same
