Give it the bounce test. Park the car on level pavement, and push down each corner of the car individually. The car should bounce once, then return to its original position. The car may or may not make a quick hissing sound on rebound. This is normal. If the struts hiss at any other time, the car bounces more than once, or you experience any of the symptoms 97pocketrocket described, you will need new struts.
