Some guy at Mavis said to me my Celica's struts needed to be replaced. He said that though my car had relatively low mileage (75K) it was 11 years old and is due for the struts to be replaced. I kept doing that lean on fender, bounce the car up and down, and see if it stops after one bounce test, and I just couldn't see how the struts needed replacement. My car doesn't lean during corner, doesn't nose dive when stops, doesn't float like a boat when going over bumps. So how long did your struts last??
