Replace them when they're worn out. This can be 75 or 100,000 miles.
Struts and/or shocks are shot.
The 4Runner doesn't have struts; it has coil-over shocks in front. After removing the old shocks a spring compressor is required to remove the springs and install them on the new shocks. Take it to a front end shop that has the proper compressor and tools; it's very dangerous if you don't have good equipment and experience. The rear shocks are easy to replace by yourself.
Buy a Haynes shop manual for 1997-2001 Toyota Camrys. They're about $15.
