Default Noise in rear...

Hello,

I have a 93 LS with 136k miles. The car is in excellent condition, but I have begun to notice a 'thump' or slight noise from the rear suspension area when I go over a decent-sized bump.

Is it likely to be the shocks? Something else? As far as I know, everything is original.

Thank you.

If it's the original struts, they are likely dying-dead-gone. How are the tires wearing in the rear and how does the car handle?

Other thing's that can thump: spare tire is not snugged down and is moving or something else in the small compartments is rattling about.

Thanks guys. My dad's a mechanic so I'll ask if we can take a look at the rear struts together.

I didn't see a price listed: how much would new struts cost?
