First, get new shocks and struts...on that vehicle, not entirely sure, but probably struts in front and back, no shocks. Check for coil springs in rear. If rear springs are coil, then struts. If rear springs are leaf, then shocks. While you're at the parts store, rent or borrow a coil spring compression tool. You'll need to compress the coil springs to remove/reinstall new struts. Other than the compression tool, standard garage mechanics tools will do the job.

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.
