They'll probably be fine but for 33 usd each its not worth saving the cash.

148k and the fronts were toast. Come to think of it I did notice a faint clunk from the front sometimes. This happened ever since I bought the car (bought it at 120k) and I tested the front tie rods and ball joints and everything was rock solid.. So probably were worn out already at 120k. Rear upper and lower shock mounts were fine, apart from the rubber dust boot, which was slightly deformed on my car.
