New struts?

At what point did you really feel it was time to replace your struts? I have 70,000 miles on mine, and I am wondering is it time.

From what I can gather, the OEM units are built pretty well... If you don't have wheel hop or excessive bouncing, you're probably okay. If the car feels settled on uneven pavement or washboards, they should be fine... The other thing to check is for leaking around the seals.
