just changed mine Posted by adam [Email] (#344) [Profile/Gallery] (more from adam) on Sat, 2 Feb 2008 19:15:44 In Reply to: Re: Life expectancy Sachs OEM shock absorbers?, SeeVTSaab, Thu, 31 Jan 2008 04:39:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Just redid the front end with Bilsteins HD, I have 184k on a '99 9-3 SE. The old ones definitely do not have the same rebound and resistance that the new Bilsteins do.
I don't know how much of that is related to the change in brands/tuning vs old age. My theory is while the boge/sachs might not outright fail they are moving parts and will wear out with time, probably worth replacing around 150k or so, but if you are not doing the work or keeping the car for a while it is probably not worth it.
