Yeah the dampers need priming like that

Does that mean it was never primed when it was put on? will it go soft again?

As has been mentioned already get the swivel preload checked, especially as it has been lifted and the castor angle has been reduced.

Not wanting to sound too much like an idiot, but what exactly is the swivel preload? And caster correction bushes?

Castor correction bushes replace the standard ones in the trailing link arm commonly called the hockey stick. The bolt tube through them is offset and they have to be fitted in the right rotation to set castor angle [the tilt at which the axle is set next to chassis] to much one way or another will result in touchy steering or one that does not self center. Hope this helps. Cheers.
