When do you replace your Shock Absorbers?
After 5 years (or 50k?) - I've been searching online and this is the common answer.
Or when you FEEL that it's time for a replacement?
Do you replace them with "original parts" or third party (like Bilstein)

Depends on usage.
Usually if there are obvious leaks and the car "wallows" or "bounces" those are clear signs that shocks are for replacement.

For the most part they are the same exact shocks just contracted by the automobile manufacturer to have their own markings.
