Hey All,

I have the following:
TRD Shocks/, TRD Lowering Springs, Hotchkis Struts

I am nearing 61k miles. Are these still good or should I get them replaced? I know the springs don't need replacement from other posts I have seen..

FYI, they are from the factory so they have been on there since day one. I am only asking because I noticed my car bottoming out a lot easier these days and my ride on the freeway is rather bouncy, however I know our XBs aren't exactly luxury cars so maybe this is normal?

Nope, sounds like it's time to replace the struts and shocks. Get a full set of Monroes... it will improve the overall ride.

I heard monroes are good, should i install them or have a shop do it? I have only minor experience with DIY. oil, brakes, exhaust, etc.

Can anyone shed some light on this....

I just need to replace my back end shocks/struts correct?

You can do it yourself. Try to have someone with some experience help though. And be careful not to let the front axels slip out of place, it's a _____ to get back into place.

When in doubt, hire it out!
