rear suspension

I got new shocks on the back, but the car rear still goes thump thump thump over cracks on the road. So what do I need to change - the sway bar bushing or the link bushings and whats recommended.

So you dont think the thump could be because of worn bushings ? - I have 120K on the car and original bushings.

yeah,it is possible the strut mount bushings are worn,maybe other bushings as well...

But you still will not get a good quality ride out of the gabs..
