Shocks/struts at 75k miles
My 17 Camaro is approaching 75k miles. Would I be crazy to replace my front and rear suspension? The ride is rougher than I recall at purchase and hits pot holes really hard now with A Big Bang. At the same time breaks, and fluids too?

I would go ahead and get them inspected first. I worked in an auto shop and we would always recommend shocks and struts based on what the manufacturer suggestions were, but they didn't need them most of the time. If they are leaking, then yeah go ahead. My Mazda cx-9 has 274,000 miles on it and I have never replaced S&S and I have owned it since new. I have had several master techs inspect the struts and it just doesn't need it. It is a situation specific repair. It would be a considerable waste of money to replace them based solely on manufacturer recommendations.

Are you rolling on the Goodyear run flats? Those tires are hard as rocks. I recommend looking at some better tires first if anything.
