    Guess all the speed bumps in Scotland have finally taken its toll after 145,000 miles back right spring is broken at the top and the back left is cracked and about to break as well. Getting both springs replaced but wondering if it is needed to the shocks as well?

    Probably, I would replace the rear shocks at the same time.

    What about the front struts, they are probably not in great condition either.
