mkeeney Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I don't see any reason to replace them if they are working fine. There's no guarantee that a replacement would last any longer than what you already have. Wait until they break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brouwer77 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 [Don't ever replace a part until it breaks.! PERIOD! You can replace them and then something else will break. Leave it as it is.! Your car has gotten to this point. obviously you 're doing something right. My 1993 lexu es300 drives well at 180,000 miles with minor issues.
