After 18254 miles, my driver side rear strut blew. though it doesnt effect the ride on a smooth road, small bumbs have become a problem beacause i bottom out. Will a strut continue to get worse or once its gone its gone? I have also noticed that my rear is sagging about a 1/2"(the side with the blown strut)

My car is lowered on goldlines.
It was lowered about 8 months before the front finally blew.
and now...the ride is TERRIBLE. I'm waiting on my buddy to get me the Tein SS

Both my front struts are gone. Stock suspension besides sway bars and strut bars and 17" wheels. The front bobs up and down when I hit a bump. They're not totally blown, but they suck! I'm going to Honda. Bleh. Oh yeah, 22,000 miles.

Yeah, I feel "unsafe" when I'm cruising and hit a bump.
I'm all over the place
But...it's the cities fault, honest!
I SMOKED this freakin bump in the road with 4 people in the car. That's when the "little shocks that could" couldn't, and died
