Rear springs.

We've had 4 240's; every one of them needed new rear springs by the time they had achieved as many miles as yours has. Sooner, in fact.

You won't need a compressor to replace the rear springs.
Need a 1/2" drive breaker bar.
It's several additional steps beyond changing shocks, but with everything else you're doing in the rear, you'll nearly have the old springs out anyway.


fcpgroton.com has standard and "heavy duty" springs.
Moog makes "overload" replacement coil springs, currently in use on my daily ride as replacements for the stock item.
