Excuse my ignorance chaps - but how long would you expect to get out of a set of shocks - I've noticed that my car is a bit jittery over roads that are slightly bumpy. If I press down on each corner it just goes back up - no continuous up and down.
If I replace them (on my 10AE with Bilsteins) will it be a big job and is there anything I else I should consider replacing at the same time ?
Cheers

Spideog, think you can have the Bilsteins revalved/rebuilt.. don't know how much it costs or where I'm afraid..
Replacing the shocks and springs is lots easier than some of the jobs you've attempted in the past

Even easier if you are replacing springs and shocks at the same time, no fiddling round with spring compressors etc..
Apart from the usual jacking up/jack stands/wheel removal stuff.
