I had a unexpected free Saturday afternoon so I decided to change the rear shocks out. I'm fairly certain they were the originals and after 167K they were pretty tired. Last month I got a pair of Sachs Touring 20% off on a promotion from Autozone ($62 each) and found a pair of LEM rear strut mounts for $50 each on Amazon.

Other than the left side shock being stubborn to remove this was a fairly easy DIY and certainly firmed up the over all feel of the ride. I plan on changing the front struts soon but want to also change out suspension bushings while I'm at it; the thrust arms and ball joints mainly.
