One of the reasons we still have our '03 Saab with 175K+ miles is safety.
A worn out suspension system compromises that safety.
Before I realized how worn out my suspension was, (and the car is generally driven very gently) I was headed down a hill on I-95 north of Boston, going a bit faster than the posted speed, but keeping up with the traffic flow, and we hit some of New England's finest roadway (a patch of very rough pavement) which put the suspension to a real test. It's a miracle I didn't lose control of the car as it felt like I had no control of the rear end and we swerved dangerously close to the traffic in the next lane.
If the components are shot, don't compromise your or someone else's safety: take care of it.
