blown struts - what does that really mean?
So I hear people talking about blown struts because of coilover sleeves .. or dropping the car too much. Im trying to understand what "blown strut" really means? Does the car squeak? Do they just fail and your car drops even further? Does it simply take away handling?

Can someone help me understand what blown struts really means?

How do you tell if you have blown struts?
