There are several types of front suspensions that allow your vehicle to both steer and go over bumps in the road. One such suspension type is called the MAC-PHERSON STRUT. The intent of the Mac-Pherson Strut was to reduce the " unsprung weight" of the wheel and suspension components. Doing that can significantly improve handling and provide better contact between tires and the road.
Strut components can wear out, and when they do they need to be replaced so that the vehicle will operate safely. Commonly, strut inserts (similar to a shock absorber), springs and bushings may wear or otherwise fail, seriously degrading the performance of your vehicle.
The struts need to be changed every other year.

If struts need to be replace on a car it's evident by how noisy and bumpy the ride is. The cost to replace struts on a Toyota RAV4 is approximately $600.
