2015S, almost 37k miles. No mods of any kind.
Fort Worth: miles and miles of older, uneven concrete slab road surface. Our particular commute is unbelievably rough, and the Leaf gets tossed fore/aft, and side-to-side. The suspension gets an amazing workout. I think it has become worse, but maybe because I'm comparing it to our 2018 Gen IV Prius, or our 2014 Avalon Hybrid Limited.
There's no extra bouncing after compression/rebound of the struts, so it doesn't seem like they are "worn out" in the traditional sense. I'm wondering, though, after 4 years of rather rough/abusive pavement, if it would be worthwhile to replace the struts.
Thoughts?
