Basically I have an old 94 Town and Country Mini Van that maybe gets driven twice a month. I think it needs shocks and struts (when you hit a bump the front end makes a terrible noise and the car vibrates) This has periodically gotten worse over the last few years. I'm just wondering if I don't fix it, will anything else possibly get damaged or broken.

Also what would the average cost be for Shocks and struts installed on this van?

Thanks.

first, before you replace them, check all the bushings(don't forget the top one). lots of times they are loose or worn-but the strut is good

Struts are pretty important, they are an integral part of the front end, they do alot more than a shock absorber does on our trucks.

Yeah buddy... keep looking there is more. One with a Toyota getting about 4-5 feet of air.

On the other hand with bad shocks/struts the stopping distance is increased a good bit.

And those bouncing cars are really nice as long as they don't have to try to stop because you are in their way.
