Re: how can you tell that your struts are blown?
This may not work in your situation because of how low your car is, but if you can push on the front or back of the car, and it feels bouncy, then they are blown. If you usually have a stiff ride, then you can tell just by the ride quality.

2. have you ever seen old cadillacs when they hit a bump? the car looks like it has hydraulics..thats what your car will do if the struts are really blown.

One way to tell is drive on the interstate and when you hit a bump your wheels will bounce a few times once you hit the bump. You can have someone follow you and they will be able to see.
