Default Shocks or Struts

Would my 06 Magnum have Struts in the front end, or replacable shock absorbers? The Vehicle has 60K miles, so is it time to replace the Shocks/Struts?.......
Would the addation of larger sway bars, front & back, make a difference in the handling?

Yes, you have struts on the front and shocks on the rear. I have over 100,000 miles on TWO of my magnums ~ both on stock struts and shocks.

upgrading the shocks and struts will help with handling and noises in a lot of cases, upgrading to a good strut can provide a stiffer suspension, while at the same time being smoother and providing a better ride, with better performance.

As for the sway bars,
we currently have a sale on ours 259.99 for the 32mm solid front bar, and the 18mm rear bar, these bars will give you a big improvement on handling.
