Default Re: Shock absorber replacement on 1991 Accord?

What symptoms does your Accord have that suggest the shock
absorber needs replacement?

I replaced the springs on my 91 Civic, but the shock
absorbers themselves showed no signs of leakage and seemed
to work fine by the usual test (push and watch how they
release). Even the springs might have been overkill.

Control arm bushings and ball joints are another matter. For
1991, the bushings in particular may be due.
