My car has began to handle like a district nurses Morris Minor.
Every bump I hit feels like a mountain and on cornering the feel I get through the steering wheel is very lumpy. I've had my tracking checked and corrected and it's still the same, my front tyres also seem to be wearing quikcer on the outer edges.

What is the recommended replacment interval for shocks... Any ideas ?

On previous cars where a shock has gone, it is usually audibly very noticeable (eg CLUNK) and the reason I have noticed it is because it always did it over the same bumps.

Is that your symptom?
