But seriously, that sounds awfully quick to be blowing through struts. What kind of driving do you do?

Never heard of neither a shock or spring problem before.
Have you hit hard a pot hole?

I was going to say have you hit a curb/pot whole/ bomb crater recently. I could under stand replacing one in the 60-100,000 mile area but not 4500.
