Shocks?

When im driving slow and go over bumps (i think its my shocks) a noise like the shocks are just like bouncing around. My brother had the same similar noise on his lexus but never got it diagnosed. I'm pretty sure its the shocks. Does anyone recommend any shocks to get?

I have used (about 6k miles) factory struts and shocks for your car. I'm only asking $250 plus ship.

It might be your bushings. Makes bumps feel like the suspension is wiggling and sort of rattling under.

We have liquid filled bushings, and while they are great, if they crack, they leak. That's what might did.

I fixed that, at great expense, and it changed the ride from "sloppy" to "tight" and correct.

I get a "POP" or knock from my right front when I go over speed bumps (slowly).
