Do I need new shocks?

[holmern]

Just bought an 06 SE with 96k miles on it.. Inspection went fine and test drive went fine but after a few weeks the suspension feels different and it almost sounds like a knocking sound from the right rear shock every time I hit a bump. I was under the impression that the xreas should still last a little longer? And if I need new suspension what should I expect to pay?

Have a feeling if I take it to the dealership they will tell me to get them replaced even if I don't need to.

Check the rubber bushings on the shocks and stabilizer bar mounts.
Common source of clunks when hitting bumps.

If your xreas suspension needs replacing expect to pay a lot. Or eliminate it and go with conventional suspension parts.
