I have a 97 s90 that has about 144k miles on it right now. Still on the original shocks and front end, about the only thing that has been swapped are the brakes and rotors. So far she rides ok and the old jounce test would have me believe that the shocks are still ok. Tire wear is same as always. Normally got 35k out of a set of tires like pirelli Sport V 6000's though my last set of pirelli 3000 tires still has tread left past 40k miles.

What I am asking here is am I missing something? Are the shocks in need of replacement or can they go another 50k? There is no good independent service shop so I have to take it to the dealer to do any complex work on it. ;-( Engine still idles like it was new. I keep synthetic in it. Have had minor problems but managed to fix them along the way. Want to get it to 200k so I will put the money in now if it is necessary. Am I on the right track?
