U can remove shocks then chk stopper n mounts fr wear.

 

I usually change stopper cos its cheap. Mount usually can last 10yrs.

 

Remember to do a 4 wheel computerised alignment to get everything back to factory specs even if e mech say no need.

 

Good alignment improves handling n roadholding n yr tires wil last much longer.

everything

mount+stopper+bearing+bolts

compressed mounts n bearings will cause premature failure of new absorber as its not in the correct aligned position

Usually for my car,always the stopper wear out first,but in the end changed both the stopper & the shock absorbers,because mechanic said stopper is very cheap,but the labour is more,so not worth changing the stoppers only.

Bearing? As in wheel bearing?

any workshop can do the check, just use hand to feel can already.

 

if u want to be sure, try going over 2 hump with pax.

 

first bounce should be fine, 2nd bounce if you hear the knocking sound means rear shocks gone
