My front end feels somewhat sloppy and is rough over bumps. I know I have a leaky rack and pinon but I thought the problem might lie with the front struts. When I took it in for an inspection, the mechanic told me my rear shocks needed replacing as they have a bit of leaking going on. No mention of my front struts needing replacement as they were dry. I have 145,000 miles on the truck. Mostly road miles. 2 questions:

1. Can my front struts be bad without leaking?
2.What could the rough ride over bumps be coming from if not the struts?

Thanks!
