Bad Struts?
Other than the obvious (like leaking fluid) how do you diagnose bad struts?

Yep, My 88 Accord LX has great struts, never replaced, until about 110k
miles. :-) "Dave M." <gadget@frontiernet.net> wrote in message news:9FEVa.6802$B54.5004@news02.roc.ny... > > Tony Hwang <dragon40@shaw.ca> wrote in message > news:x%DVa.559767$ro6.12662329@news2.calgary.shaw. ca... > > Hi, > > Same as convetional shocks. > > Bounce testing. > > > It'll be the day when I find a bad strut on a Honda, Nisson, Toyota before > 100,000 miles.

Re: Bad Struts?
You must have a 7th generation Civic (01-03). Take the car to the
dealer, they replace tonnes of these a day and are extremely efficient at it by now. My last strut replacement was completed in 20 minutes on a 2002 Civic. It is a common and known problem with this car. The struts are under designed and cannot tolerate the abuse they get from poor roads for very long.
