really at 60-80K they need to be changed. I dont know if i agree with this.
When I bought my 4Runner about 4 years ago, it already had about 60K miles (90,000km). Now it's got 160,000 km, so about 100K miles and the shocks and struts are still fine.
At one point i had some issues with my car drifting, thinking it was the shocks/struts and even the guy at Toyota Dealer told me strut/shocks are pretty solid and its most likely your tires, and sure enough it turned out to be a balancing issue on the tires. This was when the car had about 140,000 km.
