how to test shocks? the 'standard' test for shocks is to push down on a 'corner' of the vehicle - vehicle should rebound back and stop. if it oscillates the damping is worn out - shocks should be changed.
this test is easier on small cars than on the ML - you migh need a beefy friend to help.
of course you can also tell when you hit a whooptiewoo driving down the road - if you bounce up and down more that 1.5 bounces new shocks likely in order.
if your passengers are complaining about getting thrown around.. maybe it is your driving?? (hehe)
going around the corners i always yell to my passengers (see photo below) -"HANG-ON DOGGIES!!"
