A rear end that keeps bouncing after bumps, a wet oily film on the strut body or a knock over rough roads can mean a strut is worn. Worn bushings or other suspension parts can cause these too, so look first, with the car parked and the engine off, for a wet strut body or a broken spring, and let a shop pin down the cause before you buy.
