My car makes a thud in the rear on every bump too... I haven't had my struts looked at or anything but I was wondering, how do you know for sure if it's the struts and not the mounts? Or bushings? Or some other thing? Such as here: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=45402&hl=

easiest way for you to find out... pull out suspension pull off spring and see if the shock saggs or if it comes up (real slow) my shocks were shot but I didn't get any noise... only way I found out was when I was replacing them, without the spring it went down
