how do you know if it is blown? My car seems bumpier than before and I can feel more of the road.

u should know if it's blown. u'll get a lot of clunks and it's definately going to feel blown. i think your suspension is just settling in. the springs will settle some over time and things just aren't going to be as stiff as they once were. tire wear can also play a role in what u are feeling.

Ways to tell if a strut is blown:

1) push down on all the corners of the car and if one or more feels reall soft and bouncy it probably blown.

2) look on all your wheels and if you see an oily substance kinda like brake fluid it's probably blown.

3) you you car pulls to one side or you alignment is off it could be a blown strut but not 100% of the time .

These are a few ways that i have personally seen. hope it helps.
