I agree with those of you who say 'better safe than sorry'. If I can determine what the problem is, I'll get it done. Maybe I'll just take it in Guenther and say 'fix it'.

Maybe at 155,000 miles and 20 years, it would be wise to just replace the WP, tensioner, and shock all together. Lots of the labor steps seem to be common with all the. It will really add up though.
