They're 175'000 km old.
They're obviously more flabby on cornering and especially breaking that they were last year: I have a little breaking test I do for all my cars and the whale (that's its nickname) is really plunging on breaking.
The problem with shocks/springs is they wear out quite slowly and you don't notice the change. Until you replace them.
@BoxBrownie: thanks for the link, I sent them a message.
