How do you know the struts are bad? Oil leak? If you get the suspension bouncing and then release it, does it stop within one up or down movement or does it continue to bounce. If it keeps bouncing, the struts are bad. Any looseness in the strut, if so, it could be the bearing at the top.

I ask this because the struts are pretty robust. Mine are perfectly fine, they have 144k miles, don't leak, pass the bounce test and have no looseness.
