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

Subject: How long have your shocks lasted?

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