Yes on all bumps even very small ones. It doesnt even feel like there is anything absorbing the contact between the car and them. i am going to try and take the tire off and get some pics.What should i expect to replace I dont mind putting new stuff in but i dont even no what to order? i saw a few kits for like $380 with struts and coils is that what i need. sorry guys im the poster child for nooooobs!

in the worst case try and post it somewhere else and just slap a link on this page. and yeah that's deff blown struts. if you wanna keep the car stock, then all you'd have to most likely replace is the struts and not the coils unless whoever owned it before but ebay coils in which you can usually tell from looking at them.
