I replaced the shocks on the 240D because they were orignal to car and the difference was quite noticable. I did the bumper bounce and it passed, but one shock looked like it had had some fluid leaking in the past.

Anyway when they were pulled off, the old ones were what I would call strong if they had been a cheap shock, but nothig like the new Bilstien I installed. On the old ones I removed from the car the buffer material on the shaft had detererated and most of the stuff was gone.
