You may not necessarily need them, but it would be aggravating to have to pull them apart again 6 months from now. If it were me, I would change the mounts and the springs while they are out, especially if you have more than 100,000 miles. If you hear a clunk while hitting bumps, or if the center metal piece of the mount comes loose easily after removal from the strut, the mount is probably finished- replace it.

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 can you tell if the struts on your vehicle need replacing?
The "bounce test" always works for me. Push repeatedly on the front of the vehicle until you can get it moving up and down several inches, then quit pushing and watch. The vehicle should only continue moving for just one "cycle" (up then down or down then up) If it moves much more than that, the struts are bad. Also, visually check the struts. If they are damaged, leaking oil pr the bushings are coming apart, that's good sign that they need to be replaced.

Check the shocks and the suspension components. You might have a bad bushing on the sway bar, shock or elsewhere. The 1997 Chevy Cavalier has struts instead of shocks in the rear-end, so you would need to replace those. Also while replacing the struts you might want to consider alingment for both the rear and front because if the car has been making this sound for a long period of time it will be out of aline. My cavalier had the same problem, but both struts were bad.
