How can you tell if your struts are broke?

You can tell if your struts are broken by observing signs such as excessive bouncing or swaying of the vehicle when driving over bumps, uneven tire wear, or a noticeable decline in ride comfort. Additionally, if you hear a knocking or clunking noise when going over bumps, it may indicate strut issues. Performing a bounce test—pushing down on the front or rear of the vehicle and observing how it reacts—can also help; if it continues to bounce more than once or twice, the struts may be worn or damaged.
