So if you have some resistance in the shock's up slide and no oil leakage then the unit is usable.
When putting the unit back together, lubricate the bottom (only) of the spring with a light coating of grease. This will keep the shock from squeeking....

That's what I was hoping to hear on the resistance. And thanks for the tip on the grease.
