I doubt they would've lasted that long. But replacing them and getting an alignment done wouldn't hurt at all.

Replace the shocks with either rancho's or bilsteens. Have the front end gone over real well by a trusted mechanic.


And :welcome:

Most parts stores can get them you may need to go to each one in your city to get the best price though.
