    OEM shocks
    But I'm looking at these springs
    & they look tossed

    Maybe I should just replace the whole strut assembly?

    Does that spring look worn?
    Is it normal to be crooked?

    Any advice would be helpful taco peeps

    Do you have a spring compressor? If not, find a local shop to swap in the new shocks.

    P.S.: If it were me, I would replace shocks and springs. Those springs should be tired with 300K+ miles on them.
