expected lifetime of Msport shocks/dampers

My car has 67k km on the clock and it really feels like the dampers are on the way out. It isnt the end of the world but I've never had dampers needing replacement at such a low km count. Would appreciate any thoughts or even if anyone has had them changed under warranty (wear item I know)...

What kind of road conditions does your car endure on the daily basis?

67K kilometers is a bit low but wear and tear has no templates.

Way too low, are you sure it’s the shocks?

Unless you’re doing motocross or something in it.

Have you checked the control arm bearings? They might be prematurely worn and may be the reason behind the poor handling that you're experiencing.

Agree with the above comment. That would be the first place I would inspect.
