I have a 2000 taurus wagon 24valve dohc 3.0 engine. original owner. generally loaded with 3 kids bikes for all plus dog plus gear. we like to travel to go trailing. do i need to replace original shocks and struts. i like this car and need to keep it for another 125000 miles. it sits a little low when loaded down. safety is my primary concern

yes, i would. they make what is called quick struts which are complete assemblies and they work grets.

a bit pricy but well worth it
