After 11 years and 120k miles I finally wore out the shocks. Those Nivomats take a beatin though. I was having my tires changed and noticed one of them leaking oil. By the time I got to my mechanic they started dumpin oil all over the ground. Glad I made it there in time. Got them replaced for about $650 including labor. Noticeable difference in ride immediately. Had to adjust my mirrors since the back was lifted about an inch. The others must have really been shot.

Im still noticing a fair amount of unsteadiness at about 100mph which I never had before. Perhaps the fronts are shot as well? They checked and said they looked ok, but driving is a different story. I had the steering rack replaced a few months ago and it was defective so they had to get another one. Any suggestions about the unsteady feel?
