Shocks/Springs going bad?

I have a 2000 TL, it seems like my ride has become stiffer.. or maybe its juss in my head... i currently have 45k miles on it... Whenever i hit NE bump... it seems like my car bounces as if there we no shocks... is... maybe i should replace the oem ones and get h&r sport springs on top of that?


oh.. and one more gay problem... Anyone have their radiator fans making a funni noise? lol...

You can test if your shocks are blown by jacking up your car (a foot+) and see if the wheel dangles or continues to sit on the ground. If you shocks ARE blown, the ladder will happen because your shocks doesnt have the restricted travel anymore.
