Shock Question

My buddy has a 1996 MXZ 670 and i tightened up the rear front shock. It rebounds very fast like its just a spring underneath. What could be the problem?

shock is bad, your only running on the spring tension. that vintage sled i would say all the shocks are bad. what happens when you take the front bumper and shake it up and down?

I dk what does shaking the front of the sled have to do with a back shock?

had a friend with a 97 or 98 MXZ 670, in 02 his shocks were shot, when i grabbed the front bumper and pushed down and pulled up really fast a few times and let it go it would just keep goin, just like a car with bad shocks. so if his was a year or two newer, and its three years past, i think those shocks are pretty much shot.
