I have never had the struts replaced on my car. While driving, the car seems to bounce and not a smooth ride. When do I know it is time to replace the struts? Thanks

Hi there,

You have answered your own question, it sound as if the suspension is well due for some attention, rule of thumb is bounce the car and you should have only about 1 1/2 oscillations, but if it is floaty and bouncy time to have the suspension inspected.
