Are my struts shot? S70

I have been trying to find the source of a front end noise.

Replaced the strut spring seats with the IPD Heavy Duty ones, the originals were actually not that bad - had to remove to inspect anyway.

However, the pass side strut retracted under its own weight.

I didn't have new ones to install when these were out. Am I correct that this one is shot? Somewhere I read that I should not be able to push it in by hand. This was clearly way beyond that.

How are the Bilstein Touring model?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Mike
