When To Replace Shocks – Freightliner XC
Should I replace my shocks because they are ~15 years old? They show no signs of wear/leak. I haven’t noticed any deterioration in the ride. But I don’t drive it daily, don’t know if the ride shoul...

We have a 2004 XC chassis with a brand new set of Bilsteins on it. It has 77,000+ miles on it. The OEM shocks were Sachs and I would have replaced them with the same shock if they weren't so expensive. We really liked the ride until the last year or so. The MH started wallowing and rocking when it was driven onto uneven surfaces like entering parking lots. The new Bilsteins don't wallow or rock like the old Sachs. I thought about Koni's, but remembered that a friend replaced his Bilsteins w/Koni's and the ride didn't improve. I also read the shock test in Motorhome Magazine which said that the Bilstein Shocks were the best for the money.
Good Luck,
