Shox question.

How do you know when it's time for new shox? What are the warning signs?

When they leak, make noise, or if your car has say more than 40K miles (depends on your driving habits)then its time to replace them.

When your car starts bouncing up and down it's time for new shocks.

bouncing up and down eh? Sounds kinda opposite of what i was thinking. I thought that the ride gets harsher over bumps and seems theres not much of a rebound. no?

Well if you don't have rebound you end up riding on a spring only which results in a bouncy ride.
