skiphen Report post Posted April 10, 2012 We have a 2008 Fleetwood Southwind with 29000 mile on a Ford chassis. At what point or miles should we think about replacing the original shocks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 Rather than go on time or mileage, evaluate shocks as follows: Visual inspection: If leaking (not just damp with oil, but leaking), replace them. If any wear in bushings/attachment points, replace them. Performance test: Go over a speed bump at normal low speeds. If an axle bounces more than 1.5 times, time for new shocks.
