Bad struts I think..
 
Okay, every time I go over even the slightest bump, my rear end has a knocking sound. I consulted a couple people who, with the same issue, have diagnosed it to be... "they're shot." Now this car looks completely stock right down to the factory hub caps. I was debating on giving the thing a small drop, but idk if I'll have the room for that kinda work. Should I just replace the struts and save the drop for later? or just ignore it because I wont hear a damn thing after the kickers are put in?

Lots of things can cause rear end knock when going over bumps. A few common ones are stabilzer bar bushings and end links, upper shock mounts, worn suspension bushings.

Suggest changing the stabilizer bar bushings first as this is a quick and cheap fix.

Suppose it is possible the strut itself may be making noise but typically it is these other items.
