If u can see leaks then yes u need new struts
Also while going over speed breakers u can notice if the car doesnt level out immediately but goes up n down 2-3 times before settling then u have bad struts
There are some cheaper models available from Monroe and Gabriel but I've used both on customer cars and been very unimpressed. They felt harsh immediately and were clunking within 10k miles.
Get good parts: original ride quality, not economy, and probably KYB or Gabriel (Monroe has long been a decent brand, but people tend to question their quality these days, especially here on Reddit).
I needed to replace my front end suspension and installed GABRIEL G57027 quick struts. I've had them for a few months with no issues. I'm not doing any off-road driving, mostly paved roads hauling family and large items. I've had good luck with this brand on my LeSabre as well.
I had the same problem with a set of Gabriel struts.
Monroe and Gabriel are pretty standard brands with decent quality.
Always preferred Gabriel. Had a nice combination of ride and handling.
I did Gabriel struts/shocks on both gen3 prii. Would recommend.
I recently put some Gabriel quick struts on my 2008 minivan. Fitment was so good they didn’t change the alignment (I had a local shop check after the install). I’ve only driven on them for a month but the ride has been excellent so far.
You’d probably do the car a disservice by fitting some of the aftermarket struts that are out there like Monroe or Gabriel, I’d recommend sticking to Honda OEM or KYB.
