How will worn out shocks or bushings affect excessive yaw body roll or tilt in a vehicle?

Worn out shocks have a unmissable swishing noise, The front shocks will wear out before the back ones in most cases. If it is still stock then after 50,000 miles they (front shocks) will start to wear the back ones should be fine for another 10,000 miles. Shocks will significantly affect body roll. But

Are bad bushings and shocks dangerous?
Absolutely - both of those items will and can affect the control of your vehicle. Proper maintenance of these items is essential for YOUR safety as well as others, too.
What does it sound like when your shocks are going?
As far as what they sound like, normally you hear nothing unless a shock is broken. There are however warning signs of worn shocks or struts. STEERINGWorn shocks and struts can allow excessive body roll when turning, which affects the vehicle's ability to safely steer around objects in the road. STOPPINGWorn shocks and struts can allow too much weight transfer to the front wheels during braking, which could result in a measurable increase in stopping distance. STABILITYWorn shocks and struts can allow excessive roll, sway and bounce while the vehicle is in motion, which reduces the driver's control.

How do you replace shocks on 2000 ford ranger?
The shocks on a 2000 Ford Ranger are replaced by jacking the vehicle up, removing the wheels, unbolting the shock, and removing it from the vehicle. Because the vehicle is supported off the ground, the shocks are not under load and can readily be replaced.
Is it okay to still drive a car when the struts need to be replaced?
The primary purpose of struts and shocks is to "dampen" the unsprung weight of the wheel assembly to prevent bounce. In other words, shocks and struts stop the wheels from bouncing when you hit a bump. Without shocks or struts, a wheel would bounce like a basketball when you hit a bump, and the wheel wouldn't be in contact with the road very much of the time. That makes the vehicle unstable and difficult to control especially when you're going much over 15 MPH. As opposed to shocks, struts also include suspension springs and bushings, so it depends on which part of a strut is going bad. If the springs are getting weak and the vehicle is "sagging", that's probably not too terribly unsafe, just an annoyance. If the bushings are shot, don't drive it. In my opinion, it's not a good idea to drive without good struts, but that has to be your decision.
When to change shocks on a 2008 Toyota Corolla?
You should change the shocks on your 2008 Toyota corolla when oil is visible around the shock absorber located behind the tire and made visible when you jack the car up and look just above the suspected tire. If the shocks are dented they should be replaced. Poor steering response and stiffness, uneven tire ware, excessive bouncing or vehicle sway are all symptoms of damaged shocks. Shocks should be changed about every 50,000 miles.
