All,
It's got about 97k miles, and given this is a heavy car and puts a lot of stress on the suspension components, I'm not suprised at all that it's riding a little rough at this point. I'm not sure if rough is the correct word, I notice that when I hit a bump its pretty loud throughout the car, there is no shuttering or shaking though....
I've read plenty of threads where people replace the suspension all around at this many miles. Given the symptoms, what do you folks recommend I start with? Would you replace the entire struts in the front, or just the shocks? Just start with the shocks in the rear? Do you have brand recommendations for replacement components? I hear pretty goot things about the bilstein HDs.
What I don't want to do is replace the shocks in the front, and realize that I needed to replace the struts as well, having to dig back in all over again......
Thanks all.
