I have a 2001 buick regal. It seems to be getting a little noisy with the ride and is taking bumps a little harder. I do notice that it is a little more bouncy over the bumps. It has 74,000 miles and runs great. Do you think it may be the struts? The tires look ok and I had a recent alignment.

Yes with the mileable on the Regal, it well need new struts. Take it to a trusted mechanic and ask him to do a jounch assessment. He will be able to hear any noises and assess the damping ability of the struts.

Hope that helps.
