Till you get in an accident and DIE from a loss of control. No but seriously it is a safety issue and they should be replaced ASAP. Driving with them can also cause excess front brake wear so it's one of those things that will cost you more to wait on.

How do you know if your front shocks are gone on your 1995 Intrepid and how do you replace them?
It has Struts and not shocks. If the car is bouncing or floating whenever you hit a dip in the road, or seems to handle poorly, these are signs of worn struts. A leak in one of the struts is also a sign of a bad strut. Mileage is another factor. Struts today will last a long time, but if the car has over 100,000 miles, then more than likely the struts need replacing. As to replacing them, unless you have the proper tools and knowledge, take it to a pro. Serious injury can occur when replacing struts, if you don't know what you are doing.
How long can you drive on bad struts?

There are shocks on the rear that can both be changed in about 1 hour. The front has struts that will take maybe 2 hours to change if you buy the compete assemble which includes spring, strut, and mounts. If you are only replacing the strut I recommend you have this done by a professional as it can be very dangerous.
