Vic 3.0 had new OEM shocks/struts installed by Taxi Guy... without a lift, thanks to two of his being down and a third having a car already on it. BUT it was done and I no longer need to think about a front coil spring taking out a fender! Amazingly, there isn't a "night & day" difference, but things like bridge expansion joints are way nicer to drive over. I'll have a better idea of the difference once the less-than-perfectly-balanced snow tires are off, which should be done today, and new tires are installed (hopefully later this week if Taxi Guy's lifts are repaired).
So assuming the shocks that got replaced were original, they lasted 149,619 miles and about 14 years. The ones on 2.0 leaked but these never did. Then again, 3.0's and Mom's '11 had a front coil spring break, but 2.0 never had than happen despite being driven aggressively for years.
