My 2004 has 135K on it. I love this car. Runs great! How can I tell if it needs new struts/shocks????? The tires are good and show no signs of uneven wear, but it doesn't handle quite like it did. Just had brakes done. They said that other stuff looks OK. Ball joints, etc. Any thoughts???
Had shocks all around and wheel bearings in the front done. Drives like a dream.
One thing I have noticed and the first disappointment I have had with this car. The paint is crap. I just sold my truck and polished her up. I decided I should so the same to my pretty vibe. Discovered that the paint on this car is pathetic. Bummer.
Shocks? Update... and paint....

Re: Shocks? (heartfire9)
If you want to replace the shocks/struts, go with KYB or Tokico
