When should shocks be replaced on a W123. Is there any mileage or time interval after which they need replaced. Is there any objective method to check their performance life? thanks
I replace the shocks (Bilstein ONLY!!), about every 80-90K miles. Even the best shocks are not "lifetime" and if you wait until your ride is squishy or one of the shocks starts to leak - you're way past the time. Good shocks and steering dampner are cheap insurance for proecting your front end from being pounded unmercilessly - then it starts to get really expensive.
