Default new shocks?

I went to americas tire to day cause on Friday I just got 2 new tires and had my older ones rotated to the front. I was feeling a thump or wobble like sound coming from the front passenger wheel. I took it back and they said that my tire had grown a tumor type lump due to my bad shocks.....my question is...When should they be changed? (Im ay 97k) and If I do them myself whats a recommend brand I should be looking at for a good deal??, etc....

I never heard of a tire getting a cancer tumor due to bad shocks. They suggest to change shocks @ 50,0000. Monroe shocks cost about $36.00+ each + I believe is what most are using. Simple install about 20 mins plug + play.

Good Luck
