I have a 94 and I just replaced mine. They were probably bad for at least a year before I got around to it. I noticed a lot of "body roll" when going around corners. It's much tighter now that I've swapped them. Hell, if you're going to all the trouble to take them apart, I'd just do it anyways, even if you're not sure. KYBs will only cost you around 250 shipped from Tire Rack.
