Default S 500 suspension problems

My 1995 S 500 is feels like it is bottomed out in the front but it looks level front to rear, it definetly rides hard. I just purchased the car from a friend and he told me there was a problem with it but he basically gave me the car so no I just have to figure out what is wrong with it.

What kind of suspension do you have?

Default found the problem

I have the non hydraulic suspension. I took out the struts/shocks in the front and one of them is locked up after about an inch or so of travel. So I am guessing that is the problem. With the shock fully extended I could compress it some but then it stops hard. Thanks for the help I will keep you posted the parts should be here tomorrow.
