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?.

Car is a 2003 Subaru Outback with around 60,000 miles on it. It is registered and driven in vermont year-round. The driver's side rear strut rusted severely which resulted in the lower spring mount to separate from the strut. This caused the spring to fall and come to a rest on the lower strut mount bolt. Fortunately, this did not result in an accident when it occurred however this is a concerning failure on a low mileage vehicle. I am currently in the process of having the vehicle repaired which will entail replacing the strut which failed.
