Hi - I just bought an '07 Civic Lx. It had been hit in the rear (no air bags were deployed) - and the alignment is fine and the car test drove like a champ. We've been using it the past few weeks - and have noticed that the two times we have 4 people in the car - on bigger bumps the car makes a sound in the rear like it is almost bottoming out.

So... did that accident ruin something? Do I just need new shocks? The car has just over 8,000 miles - so it wouldn't be a normal wear and tear issue...

Any advice will be appreciated!
Thanks
