855T, 153,000 miles, original struts, shocks.

While the car isn't wandering, it does move around more than I recall it should. (I've not driven it much over the last three years. I had a company car.)

Steering isn't loose but any direction change causes a lot of wallow and body roll. At the mileage, I'm sure new struts, shocks, spring seats etc would be needed. The steering rack has a leak too so now may be the time to replace it too. Should I consider springs also and just do the whole thing?

Anyone else experience similar symptoms?
