If you have that many miles on them I would change them.

Mine look fine, the first replacement set I have put in. But I started to get a vibration through the shift linkage and a lot of forward and backward motion to the shift lever when I accelerate in gear, or back off of the throttle. Also I started to get the "feeling" that the whole power train was loose, hard for me to explain. I suspected a bent rod or bent pushrod somewhere because of the vibration. Wires and plugs were good. As I said they look like new.
Last week I loosened both and rotated them 180 degrees and went for a ride, I could feel a real difference but the car is not back to where it was when they were installed.

Another thing that happens can be felt on high speed curves, 70-80 mph, you can feel a lightness coming and going in the rear as the car jounces over slight surface imperfections. The engine is jumping up and down back there. That is a lot of weight to have moving around and not being tied down solidly.

That is what I deduced after putting in the new ones. Your car will drive much better and feel much safer.

Put some new ones on and also some new poly bridge bushings in and your car will be transformed.
