As a guide they get past there best about every 30,000 miles but obviously this will vary on terrain and the driver.
If the car feels a bit hard and choppy going over bumps it's a fair bet there past there best.
Although there is 6 it's normal to concentrate on the outer 4 for handling or harshness problems.
There not too expensive an item to buy as a lot of the independent motor factors now have these on the shelf.

Another part for the suspension do you mean ?
As long as your car isnt an Activa model and just the normal xantia then the suspension system is purely mechanical with the exception of the fluid level indicator.
