It should take some force to cycle the steering stabilizer both ways. They are valved 50/50. If it just cycles with little or no effort then it's probably done. If it's leaking oil then it needs replaced too.

I replaced mine with a Moog and can tell a great difference from the stock one. It's more expensive but if you want to hit the trails it is worth it.
