My front wheels are starting to feel a bit uncontrolled going over bumps. I'm thinking of changing my shocks. My car is a 07 STS-V with ~70K miles on it. Has anyone changed theirs? Did the stability / handling improve? And how much did it cost?

Fronts are around $100 each on amazon. I'd bet your rears are still good. Try fronts first. Made a big difference on my car.

Can we use the kyb units?

 

[TimmyC]

Yes, that's what I did.

Have you tried the standard bounce test for the shocks to see how many bounces you get?

Thanks for the replies. Bounce test is not bad really. But I think the shocks would have to be really far gone for it to fail on a car with as stiff a suspension as ours. I agree I only seem to have issues on the front. Did anyone have a garage change them, and how much was the total bill?
