Hello –

Not a very big item but they do need to be replaced if bad. There is no way to just tighten them. I am only showing about $15 each from the dealer………..

So if they are bad…then yes my friend….I would go ahead and change them. You have about 140K on your vehicle so that is pretty normal…..

Hope that helps.
