Car:
06 Coupe EX
Mileage: 7800kms or approx 5000 miles
Tire Pressure: 32 fr and 32 rear (taken cold)
First service: Done

I have a concern about my suspension. The ride has become harsher compared to when it was new. I told the service guys and they took it out for a test drive and told me that's normal.

I've noticed when going over speed bumps, it is normal to hear that "squesh" sound when the shocks are depressed, but I don't here that anymore. The rear just rattle a bit when I go over the bumps sounds like the shocks are bottoming out or something. It doesnt feel like a full blown shock though...could it be a leaky shock? How can I test it and confirm the problem? Overall, the car has become a little more bumper, especially when it hits small pot holes. When going over the railway tracks, the car just "bangs" onto the tracks instead of absorbing the shock, I can't explain it in writting..u gotta be there to hear it.

Any inputs?
