A bouncy ride, nose dive under braking or an oily film on the strut body can mean a worn strut, though other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms, so find the source first. With the engine off and the car parked, look the strut body over for fluid and dents. If a worn strut is the cause, this complete strut and coil spring assembly replaces the strut, spring and mount together.
