Yea I know. Here is the problem: To remove your struts and take them to a suspension lab like Penske for analysis would cost as much or more than just replacing with new.
Rule of thumb:
If your struts are bent, leaking, or you notice significant handling or tire wear problems, replace them. Otherwise they are probably still functional.
