How do you actually know when your Audi's shocks are done?

    I've been driving my 2015 A6 for a while now and lately it feels like the car leans more than it used to in corners, plus the nose dips pretty hard when I brake at traffic lights. I've read that you can do the bounce test but that seems old school, and I'm not sure if it works on modern cars with electronic suspension. A buddy told me to take it to an Audi Shock Absorber Workshop Dubai where they can actually measure the damping force instead of just guessing based on mileage. Does anyone here know what the real signs are that shocks are worn out, besides the obvious leaking oil? I don't want to replace them too early but also don't want to ruin my tires or compromise safety. Would love to hear from anyone who's had theirs replaced and felt a noticeable difference. Also curious if worn shocks can cause uneven tire wear even if the alignment is perfect. Thanks.
