How long do OE Dampres last ?
I have MY95 UK Wagon with 52K on clock and I think the rears are getting a bit soggy.
Any recommendations if they need replaced what make to use ?

Mines a my99 with 60k.
Changed all 4 dampers at the weekend due to a blown drivers side rear.
When i inspected all 4 one of the fronts and one of the backs were ok, one of the rears was obviously fvcked and the other was on its way out.
Depends on the type of roads the cars been used on really, really rough roads are going to give them more hammer and also manufacturers tolerances.
Best to geta mechanic to have a look at em.
Got mine from http://www.autospares-group.com/
same kyb damper that subaru sell for less than half the price.
