Bump Stops

Over-compressing the shocks due to the body bottoming out on the rear axle is a good way to damage the shocks.

You should be able to get some basic OEM style in the HELP section at your local parts store.

Each car is different, depends on the use/abuse of the car, plus it's location.
my car with 132k miles were gone....some earlier, some later.
Just another option.
