Don't mean to jack anything but how do you check for bad strut, seal ect?

Look for oil around the base of the strut.
Also you'd probably hear a clunk.
And i the strut is really bad, your car would be very bouncy after hitting a bump.

If the strut is off the car and you push the shaft down, and it does not return to the original position, its time to replace
