Curious to know how one knows the shocks/struts need to replaced. I have been trying to deduct if mine are on the way out but it is difficult for me to tell, any tips? No intention of hijacking this thread.

i did mine today so this threads all yours, u will know when your shocks are bad. but look for a rough noisy ride. your car just wont seem smooth anymore, speed bumps feel like the end of the world really tell you your suspension is shot! how many miles on your car?

I replaced the springs last summer and should have done the shocks but ran out of time. I think I will do my shocks/struts, thanks for the input.

If your car is bouncing like a tank then you know its really time to replace your shocks and struts. You really dont need to replace your quad shocks....!
