Ah, okay. For some reason, it looked like a VR-something based engine.

My exact situation. I’m at 102k and I’m sure the shocks are original.
It’s contributing to my do I sell the thing or do all the maintenance it needs dilemma

even from the factory they were worn out.. and it all depends on how much longer you plan on keeping it and the price of them... could always be a good selling point if it rides really smooth

yeah I need to do spark plugs as well (huge process on my stupid sideways V6, involving removal of the intake manifold and new gaskets for that as well) and I think I need new valve cover gaskets too

which is normally why I do it lol.
The money more than the trust. When I do have something outside of my skill or toolset, I take it to a great place a town over. They’ve been handling stuff for us (again, only when I couldn’t) for over 5 years now. Good people. When you find a good mechanic - you never leave them lol
