Cost/experience with suspension maintenance? ('05 TL base)

Sorry if I missed a previous post about this, but my searching didn't really turn up the answer I was looking for.

Wondering about someone's experience replacing (?) shocks/struts on a 3G TL? Mine has 112k miles and has had no suspension work.

It's starting have a bit of a "rattle" sound on bumps that should otherwise be absorbed quietly.

What have your experiences been, in terms of suspension work? When was it required? At what cost?

Thanks!

Are you sure that the rattling is coming from the suspension? I know its kinda hard to narrow it down especially when your the only person in the car. How is the ride when on bumpy roads, has it been rougher? Do you plan on replacing with OEM or aftermarket if it is suspension? Lol sorry for all the questions, just trying to help you because jumping into suspension is a lot of time and money invested if it isnt your problem to begin with.

112k I'm willing to bet the shocks are compromised. If u replaced them, even with oem, u would notice an improvement.
