Shocking!!!
It's time for new rear shocks as they are leaking. Got 56K out of the originals so it wasn't too bad. The car is a 2005 Limited with AWD. Any recommendations for replacements? It isn't used offroad or towing, just the wife's car. As she hasn't complained about the ride I'd like something comparable to stock ride. Also should I also replace the front struts at the same time? They are not leaking but they are original too. While I have a ton of automotive experience, this is the first AWD that I have had with this many miles on it. Thanks!

I'm replacing front and rear this weekend. Using KYB GR2. They are a little more responsive than factory but a very good & inexpensive replacement part. I think I pid $215 shipped through RockAuto.com. I've only replaced them once and we just turned 200,000 on Tuesday so I know it's time. She's also getting new tires, brakes and an alignment this weekend.
If you've got 180k on orginals you need to replace them- it'll be like driving a totally different vehicle!
