2006 Honda Civic

Hi I have a '06 Honda Civic, I have noticed that my front end feels like it's riding on gravel when I'm not. Very rough ride. I have around 98,000km or 60,894Miles, on my car. I took it into my local Honda dealer for service and they recommended to me that I need new front struts, shocks, and control arms. I find this odd that I would need to replace these so soon. I don't drive the car very hard at all, just normal everyday use. How can i tell if these things really do need to be replaced.

Walter.
