Leaking Struts '03 Civic
Good evening all,
Brought the car to the dealership today and they came back to me with a find that the struts are leaking. What is the urgency of replacing them if you are just doing straightline, non-performance driving? Basically the car will be driven 20 miles per weekday (none on weekends), never going over 45 m.p.h. and has 130,000 miles on it.
Thanks

Re: Leaking Struts '03 Civic
I drove on blown/leaking struts for almost a year. The result is your tires and the rest of your suspension will wear down a bit faster, but if they're only leaking a bit then it will take a long time before you can't drive on them.
