So I'll throw my $0.02 in here...I'd say that after 200k miles of northern driving, your shocks easily could stand being replaced. However, shocks have nothing to do with the type of movement described. My guess would be worn out upper strut bushings. The movement your mechanic produced wasn't from compressing the springs at all, but rather, slop in the toasted bushings. Replacing your current setup with takeoffs from another car will probably include the good upper bushing, so you're covering all bases with this approach..
