In defense of Toyota struts, mine went bad at ~45K miles.
Replacement cost at Car-X or Midas is $130-170 with a lifetime
guarantee on the parts (not the labor). One of the Car-X
struts went bad again at 55K miles...replacement cost for
both struts was $60.

This may seem like frequent strut replacement, but my Pinto ^&@%$&^
shocks went bad every 20K miles. The current set of struts seem
to be holding up nicely. 

P.S. $500 for struts is really outrageous!!! I called a dealer here
and they wanted ~$300.
