The ride on my Chevy S10 is getting a little rough. I decided that I was going to replace the front and back shocks. However, someone mentioned that I should change the springs as well. How can I tell when I need to change the springs? At 122,000 miles and still the original springs should I change them anyway? I don't see any visable damage to the springs.
