Go to driver side or passenger side front, push down HARD on the fender/hood 2 or 3 times to get it jouncing and then let go and see how many times it jounces/rebounds. As stated - more than twice it's bad,=. - only once, it's good.
I would suspect the front first being that the struts carry a lot more weight than the rears.

he no's what he's talking about because he put down jounce allot of people call it bounce. can you see them leaking? also you will probably change upper strut bearing plates those were go to go only for about 30.000 mls on the bearing plate that came out when car was new. also there about the same set up on v/w's. just wanted you to know about upper bearing plates on struts.
