bad strut?

[jmarie]

just wondering what the signs are when a stut might be bad.

You can see it leaking or "bleeding"

 

[jmarie]

any sounds involved?

 

[wardzach2007]

never had a blown strut, but I heard some say it's loud enough to hear. but then I hear others say that they drive daily with out noticing it to badly

 

[jmarie]

oh bc when i go over bumps, esp speed bumps, my front pass side (i think) sounds pretty bad =\

push ur car down a few times where u suspect the bad strut is at, now go to the other side and push it down, was the suspected side pushed down alot easier, and bounce a lot more? if so its bad...also this works if you know the other side is good good way is compare to different cars(same models)
