Makes me think that I have more than had my money's worth out of the AVOs.

The AVOs have been on the car for 8 years and around 30k miles. How does this compare with what others see in terms of Shock absorber lifespan?

Have I left them on far too long?


I recently changed my AVO's probably done 20k fitted by Cain. You could push them in and out with ease, completely knackered. Replaced by Cains new shocks, transformed the ride.
