Reliability issue of suspension strut or shock for W205 C63

I observed some clunking noise over bump, and found out one front strut is bad, two rear ones seems having leaking issues as well.

is this normal and how are you guys shock reliability like?

*****Easy enough to replace. If you hit big bumps often, and hard enough, it can blow a strut and leak. Clunking is usually one sign, along with the leakage of course.
