After a mishap which involved driving over a center median to avoid a car coming into my lane, I did a number on my '06 MCS's suspension. One of my Koni FSD shocks needed replacement, but the insurance company ended up ordering a set of four. The question is whether to pay for the time to replace the other three right now. I only have 15,000 miles on these -- do you think it's worth it, or should I hold on to them for the future?

 

Sorry about your mishap!
Absolutely replace all of them at the same time, and keep the three 'good' ones as spares.

 

I agree with R56 Ed. Replace them all. You will need an alignment anyway, so have them all installed and the car aligned at the same time.

Good Luck,
Mike

 

Thanks. I gave them the go ahead to replace all four. For such a minor accident, this sure has cost me and the insurance company a ton!

 

Put in the new ones and send the old ones to me...

 

I can swap four shocks/struts on my Mini in less than 2 hours... I've done it several times, but I am NOT a pro mechanic, and I'm doing it in my garage on jack stands.... so if someone is charging you much more than that, beware...
