Hi all. How often should shock absorbers be replaced? I have been told they last the life of the car, but I find this strange. Nothing lasts forever. Ask my knees.

A lot depends on the road surface and whether it’s wet or dry area , I have seen them still be good on cars with 150000 mls or more on them and it other cases 5 `6 yrs , some garages say they are a serviceable item at around 60000 mls , but I tend to just change them once they are weak or leak and make sure and do both sides.
