My cousin has a 92 500E and at about 230,000kms she did a ton of suspension work on the car. She replaced the shocks on all four corners and most of the bushings. The car drove/handled very well before, and I was sceptical about her spending on those items. Was I WRONG! The car felt way more crisp and controlled afterward. It was a major improvement. I suspect by 230-250,000km's that the shocks are still working, but are not nearly as effective as when new. (struts...I know...)
