No, this is not normal to be happening. Are you sure it is needed?

Have you owned it since new? It would take a two foot drop to break both struts. Unfortunately, the rack is a known problem. Shop around, you can get them done cheaper,

Which, if you have driven some of the roads in NY or PA, would be considered a medium sized pothole.
