Default Groaning Type Sound from rear (suspension)

I have a groaning type sound from the car's rear, sounds like the rear suspension. It happens when the car goes over almost any kind of bump, and is noticeable at low speeds. The car doesn't necessarily bottom out. Has any one experienced this with a '98 Lexus LS400? It seems kind of too soon for this to be happening to the car. Thanks for any help or advice.

What kinda miles on it? My dad's 98 had a similar problem, turned out to be the rear struts. Had 100k on it though...

Default Groaning Sound

Only $60,000 miles. I was involved in a rear end accident about one month ago, but I don't think it damaged the rear suspension, just the bummper and part of the hood.

Its possible that the collision jarred or loosened something but I doubt it. About how long after you had the repair done did it start?
