I have about 90,000 on my original shocks. Is this about time to get new ones?

any odd noise coming from the shocks that you notice?? i had to change my shocks at 105,000 miles or so.
 






I get a "bobbling" type noise when its cold out going over bumps. The whole front end is good and tight, just had ball joints replaced and the sway bar links. I think I have narrowed it down to a shock. Just hate to replace something that dosn't need it.
 






It probably wouldn't hurt. You might even be surprised at how good the truck rides on new shocks.
 






yeah my shocks made that noise even when it was warm out side going over the smallest of bumps on the road. I would get new shocks, but its really up to you there bud!
