G2 Shocks & Springs at 70K??

RobL · 05-04-04, 04:44 AM

When should you replace your shocks and/or springs on a G2 Legend L Sedan? I've got 72000 miles, but have to drive over neighborhood speed bumps every day, so I'm looking to restore that firm ride like new.

Is it too soon to bother replacing the shocks? Although the car has low mileage, it is nearly 10 years old now.

If you were to recommend replacing them, what would you replace them with? I prefer a stock appearance, so nothing lowered.

Thanks,
Rob

If you don't notice any sagging or bouncing, don't worry about it. Save the loot.

I'm at 143K miles with the original shocks/struts & springs. It's a bit soft, but the shocks/struts are not worn out....I'll probably not change them for another year or so.
