I just replaced ours with Bilsteins at 140,000 Km, which fixed the ride height of the back and the negative camber the car has had since we bought it used at 80,000 Km. I always suspected the stock shocks to be bad, but the final straw for me was the serious leak from the shock when I raised the car to change to winter tires.
The ride height is now about 2" higher. If you have a wagon, you probably need new rear shocks.
