Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 SUBARU OUTBACK WITH ABOUT 55,000 MILES ON IT, I HAVE HAD THE REAR STRUTS REPLACED AND KNOW I AM HAVING THE FRONT STRUTS REPLACED. IT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE STRUTS. THE MECHANIC THAT IS REPLACING THEM SAYS THEY SHOULDNT HAVE TO BE REPLACED YET. IF I DONT REPLACE THEM IT AFFECTS THE STEERING ON THE CAR. WHAT MAKES THE STRUTS GO BAD PREMATURELY? THE CAR WAS NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT, I DONT DRIVE IT CARELESSLY OR RECKLESSLY. HAS THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS?
