Front? Back? Left? Right? Where?

The rear shocks will bump if you don't get the top nuts tight enough.

That black shield is to keep dust out, I left mine off cause its not daily driven anymore.
It sounds like you need to tighten up the bolts on the rear shocks, mine came loose on the bottom bolts cause I did not tighten em up enough, check and see if yours are tight.

it sounds like all 4 and they were installed with a air ratchet so they are tight. what would the dust cover on the struts have to do with this? suspension has 100k ,anyone else have similar noise when hitting bumps?

Mine is doing this too in the rear but I haven't looked as to why yet. I'll be interested to find out what it is in your car.
