I'm about to have all of the suspension-related bushings replaced both in the front and rear, and wanted to know if I should also replace the shocks and/or struts. I'm more versed with Saab's, and you never have to replace the shocks in those vehicles (only the bushings).

Reason for replacing bushings is due to dry rot, and some being severely torn. I am using oem rubber (not poly; this is the in-law's car and she's not in the need for speed). There is 100K miles on the ticker.

If I do have to replace the shocks/struts, where is the best place to get oem ones at a decent price (again, no need for higher performance ones)? What about a place to get decent prices on all of these oem bushings?

TIA

Joe
