The struts are covered if they are leaking. They are also covered if
there is rattling at the strut mount but that would not cause them to
bottom out. Bottoming out over big bumps is probably due to excessive
speed for the bump size and/or a heavily loaded vehicle. The ES is a
cruiser and most likely does not have as much suspension travel as
your Tahoe. Try the bounce test.
