I have a 2010 Forester, and I purchased my first new set of tires about a month ago. At the time, the repair shop told me that I also needed to replace my struts because "there was some old on them". Everything that I have read says that I should not need to replace the struts this early and that some oil on the strut is normal. I have not noticed any change in control or bouncing over speed bumps or anything. Actually, after buying new tires, I noticed a much better ride.
Should I really need new struts this soon? Wouldn't I have noticed a change in the ride if my struts were wearing out? Thank you for all of your help.
