Drive something else with new stuff under it. It's very helpfull if it's another car just like yours.

chances are if you're fc is on the stock suspension it could definitely use some new shocks. Whether you go with oem replacements, or some nice adjustables is up to you. Springs are probably sagging by now as well. If you're going to replace the shocks/struts you might as well replace the springs at the same time.

if you can push down on the hood and the car dipps to one side with only using one finger, you need new shocks and struts. i can do this on my pontiac 6000 but im going to be driving my 7 soon (engine swap).
