Apparently, the rear shocks (non-nivos) don't last very long and are somewhat soft. I haven't owned my V90 for very long, but I can say that the rear shocks seem to be pretty tired. It has 195K km (~122K mi) on the odo and the shocks appear to be original. I got a new set of Sachs (OE) for Christmas, but judging from what I've heard here I should only expect a max of 80-100K km out of them. That's probably ~4 years for me. Hopefully by then there will be more options. As for the fronts; I don't ever recall hearing of unusual problems with them. Mine appear to be original and still working well. Plus OE replacements are not overly expensive from places like FCP Groton. I'll be interested to hear Poolman's report when he has Monroes all around on his 965.
