We have owned 2 Montanas (2008 & 2012) and neither have had shocks.

We have shocks on our IS, but the original suspension didn't.

I had them replaced on 2006 Montana. One had fallen off and one was no longer bolted on. Dealer did it. I think cost was only $15-20 eash.
p.s. I think I had tire wear on the one that was missing.

Replaced the ones on my 2002, pulled one off, took to the local auto supply store and they obtained replacements for me.

Many shocks on our units are mounted at such an angle that they really do little to matter. Talk with a reputable tire/alignment dealer and they'll tell you they are just eye candy. To get value out of their function, you'll need to fab a shock mount that results in much less of an angle.
