Default blown shock?

The other day when I was leaving my brothers school down in RI in the morning it was cold as f**k I let my car warm up for a few mins as usual then started driving. My drivers side rear shock sounded hollow and just plain shitty. I've been thinking this for a while that it was blown but in the cold it sounded much worse.

Thing is I did my suspension all at the same time, granted they were all off a bit for a few days before I got an alignment, but to have just one blow is that wierd? By the way they are KYB AGX's and I just got them in like late may or June and they have maybe 10k miles on them. You can see my car in my sig...its not lowered that much, and actually the rear might be a little higher than that now.

I dont have any paperwork with me here at school, anyone know if there still might be a warrantee on them and how would I go about that?

I'm pretty sure that they have 1 year warranty. I could be wrong though. I'll try and check it out.

I think you void your warrenty with the KYB dampers if you go lower than 1.5 inches. (not that they have to know that)

To see if its blown, go push down on that part of the car. See if it bounces a lot. Then compare it to the other side.
