Hi Jim,


I first changed mine at 250,000 miles; but I think they were over due.  I
suspect that if I had changed them sooner I would not have has to change
upper control arm bushings, with more work to be done this summer (ball
joints and UCAB on the other side.)


Jere

The shocks on my 90 have lasted over 180K miles. Is this unheard of--or
common--in the Vanagon world?
