What are the signs that your struts are going bad?

You'll know pretty quick. Leaking struts and/or really bouncy ride. They're pretty expensive as well.

After reading/responding to a few of your posts, it seems that you have a number of issues with your car. If I were you, I would take the car to a dealer and pay to get a diagnosis on everything. Get the car hooked up to SDS and check for codes in ABC and other critical areas. This is no easy car to diagnose so the more help you can get the better. Good luck

The whole car seems to be falling apart! haha, I took it in to mercedes and they quoted me 8500 to fix everything, The reason I am trying to figure out whats going on before I do that is they charged me 3500 to repair a bunch of things that did fix any of the problems, entire ABC system replace was 2 years ago so hopefully I should be fine with that. The car just hit the 100k mark so I guess these things are expected, just didnt think it would all happen at once! haha
