Blown Struts?

So, when I drive and every time I go over the slightest bump both of my front struts make like a shaking type noise. Do you think they're blown? With 36,000 will Mitsu replace them? God I hope they're not blown!
UPDATE:
Well, my car came with Works camber plates, and the Mitsu service department checked them out for me and they said that it is making that noise because of the camper plates. Can I just take them off? Can I also eventually put lowering springs?

Look under the car at the strut if it's leaking oil it's blown.

If it's not leaking oil. It will be your strut mount is blowen. They can rebuild them for you I don't know if you have an MR if you do Billsten will rebuild them for $65 a strut. Sorry you do have an MR they are bad about blowen front strut mounts. Mine blew out on me at 40k so I just got coilovers. But it wont harm anything it will be a rough ride till you get them fix. As I said bilsten will rebuild them for $65 That was last time I checked. Good luck

Sounds like blown. Looks like you're getting a rebuild.
