Hey all, I went to my tire shop to have a flat fixed, and they pointed out that all four of my tires are showing signs of "cupping". They strongly recommended replacing my rear shocks and front struts (on top of new tires).
I have 150k on the jeep, however the front struts are Monroe reflex, and the back are bilstein shocks. All four were installed at 80k (so about 70k old). I know you are supposed to replace OEM shocks at about 50k, but I assumed these after market shocks would last a great deal longer than that.
Is it possible that the shocks and struts are ok and there is another issue to look into? I am mainly a highway driver so my suspension could not have taken that much abuse. Ball joints were just replaced about 30k ago as well. I haven't touched the wheel bearings so they are original with the jeep at 150k.
So my question is should I focus on the wheel bearing first as a possible cause over the shocks/struts?
I have an 06 with the 3.7L. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
