Shagged Shocks????

[slightlydodgy]

Having wound off my torsion bars a tad to ease pressure on the cvs my ute tends to whale around corners. I have also noticed that the rubbers on the front shocks are perished. 1 of the rear shocks had the rubbers replaced last warrant too. Both sets are monroe gas.I have no idea how old they are but I have had the ute for 3 years and done about 15000ks most of it off road (farming) i have tried the bounce test but with hd rear springs and the torsion bars cranked I can't bottom out the suspension even by jumping on the bullbar. any thoughts would be welcome
