Replacing Suspension Components

Have a 2005 G35x with about 106K on the clock. Haven't touched anything suspension-wise. Ride seems ok I guess.

Should I worry about replacing struts/shocks?

Thanks.

Yes, it's definitely time to change out the shocks and struts, as useful life is really no more than 50-60k give or take, depending on driving conditions. and you should probably have the compression rod and lower control arm bushings replaced (or the whole components replaced if you can't find a reasonably priced shop to replace just the bushings) as well as those are likely done.

^Good advice. At the very least the shocks and springs. I'd take your car to a dedicated suspension shop as well to inspect all the bushings and whatnot.
