Weak front shocks.....

[T.Ferrino]

Question is before I take it all apart should I be thinking of replacing the upper mounts, top strutt bearing at the same time? cars done 110,000 miles and its on original shocks and struts. Dont want to get it all apart and find i need to replace other stuff as reno garage is a few miles away and they often have to order parts in. Might the rest of the strut be ok at this milage?

Thanks

Agree with Ben. 110K is a high mileage for any original suspension. Shocks normally go off the boil after about 30K or less if lowered/driven hard. once that happens all the other moving bits suffer due to reduced control and damping.
