Shock absorbers should generally be replaced every 50,000 miles or every 5-7 years

To replace shock absorbers, you need to remove the wheel and tire assembly, unbolt the old shock absorber, replace it with a new one, and tighten the bolts. Then, reinstall the wheel and tire, and test the new shocks.

Shock absorbers can leak due to worn seals, damage to the piston or cylinder, or corrosion from exposure to moisture and road salt.

Yes, shock absorbers can be replaced when they start to wear out or fail.
