Do I need to replace struts?
I have a 1999 Honda accord Im thinking I need to replace my struts but not sure if that would be the only thing to consider. Im a novice in the auto world only know minor basics. My car ride is not as smooth and when I ride over certain uneven roads I can hear a noise like bedrocking noise if you know what I mean.lol So is that my struts and does all four wheels have struts??
very hard to diagnose suspension noise over the internet. It could be anything from Balljoints, sway bar end link, swaybar bushings. struts. I'd recommend taking it to any a shop and have them fix it, if your not mechanically inclined.
Blown struts are certainly a possibility, but as soon2bedropped noted, without giving us more detailed information it can be difficult to diagnose exactly what's wrong. Swaybar endlinks can go bad and cause noises as can ball joints.
And yes, you have four struts and four springs all around.

Do you get any squeeking? Do you notice one side sagging a bit more than the other? Do you notice issues over speed bumps? Are the upper or lower balljoint boots busted/leaking/etc? How do the sway bar bushings look?
Bunch of stuff
