I've got a 2001 9-5 V6 with exactly double your mileage. It's going to roll over to 180k tomorrow actually. I feel the same as you as far as rough uncomfortable ride. Every bump is transmitted to the cabin and up my spine. It's pretty uncomfortable. Anywayyy, the front shocks/struts are original and seem to still be okay. The rear shocks have proven to be more troublesome than the fronts. Mine were done at 155k miles, so maybe you can get some more out of those too. I bet your problems are mostly bushings. There are beastly hydraulic bushings on the front A-arms that tend to crack and dry up and transmit road imperfections, so I hear. Also check your swaybar links. My passenger side was shot and rattling around. I just had that done along with the front swaybar bushings. This quieted things down a little but I definitely feel the suspension is still a little tired. You really just have to get it up in the air and look at it. I had my indy put it on the lift and I went and checked it out with him.
