Bounce your car. Get it bouncing good and jump off. If it bounces more than three times before stopping, your shocks are shot. You could also have a buddy follow you while you drive down a rough road. If your buddy sees daylight under your tires, you need new shocks.

What if your rear end is low and you know that you need new shocksbut you also want to replace the coil springs?
if you go with original equipment you need to replace either shocks or springs or both with factory specifications. shocks are matched to springs by load capacity and rebound force, you see, if you swap out shocks for race shocks they will be a lot more stiff, you can play with shocks a little but the springs must match the shock specs. an example would be say,you replace your factory springs with racing-lowering springs, but stuck with factory shocks, the car would bounce all over the road cause the springs are much stronger than the damping load the shocks are designed to handle
