288,000 miles on my Cobalt, suspension almost all original. I have never replaced struts on any cars but this is the most miles I've ever put on one and think I can get 2 more years out of it (60,000 miles or so). Rust is starting and have had to replace some fuel line already.

Is it worth replacing struts?

Do they really have any effect on tire life if not leaking oil? (One's been clunking on bumps for 5+ years, I think it the top mount).

It ate the current set of front in 18,000 miles I couldn't find anything loose yesterday and had the car aligned once it it's life a 2 years or so ago. Going to try to get the get alignment checked tomorrow and see if he can see something loose that I didn't.
