I replaced my 86 560's at 83K two years ago; all but one rear looked OK, the fourth one was clearly leaking. I replaced them with Bilstein comforts, f/r subframe mounts (fronts completely shot), motor mounts (one was broken, one crushed), and the steering shock (completely, totally shot, a hanging piece of metal). It was like a different car. And my car was a "creampuff" with two older women PO's - not likely to have been at the drags on Sunday.
