Mech lifted your vehicle and looked.
That's one magic way to evaluate shock / spring performance!
Me being me I'd prob of driven you car to experience the issue. At your mileage shocks are usually performing poorly and replacement might pleasantly surprise - they degrade so slowly that you may think they're still OK.
Test drive a new xi for good perspective. Now whattaya think?
Koni makes excellent replacements.
