If you buy used, and have a chance to inspect them, a good test to make sure they are not bent is roll them on a piece of glass. Take them apart and roll the sliders and pistons on the glass to make sure they aren't tweaked. The sliders usually don't bend, they will crack. the pistons are what tends to bend vs. break in a wreck. -

Also check for faint grooves on the tubes by running the edge of your fingernail around the major area of travel.
