Both front struts started leaking around 38,000 miles. Roads are not good where I live but the car never hit a curb, large pot hole, or speed bump at high speed or anything of that nature. Most miles were driven with one person in the car so not a heavy load. These seem to be a common weak point on corollas. I hope they put better quality parts in moving forward. Repair bill was $1,344.68 for KYB replacements installation and alignment. Car was no longer covered by warranty.
On the bright side the ride quality is a little better than the factory setup using the following KYB struts.
