Default 2000 Civic Si.. Parts(Struts?)

Well I'm going to be replacing the CV axle but while driving I notice when i hit a slight but there was a feeling in the back left tire area accompanied with a sound. It feels like the strut is actually banging all the way to the top of that area. So I'm suspecting of course that it is bad and i thought if I was going to change it then I would want to do it all the way around. Not sure if there is other components in those areas that could could the problem. I was looking for good advice as to what I should be looking at to get for my repair. I purchased my Si lowered and I believe there is a camber kit in there so I'm not sure whats exactly under there. I will have to get in there and look. But just looking for good advice to what I should be looking at and maybe what brand of parts. I'm a newbie, so I need what help I can find.

It's unclear what's going on with your car.

Try providing pictures and brand names of your current equipment. Also try texting the message after pulling over so it's more clear.

Your shock could be bottoming out. Or you could havd some coil bind in the springs.

Pics of the car at current height. Pics of the parts of concern. Those would help to start with.

Otherwise you're asking someone who can't hear a noise to diagnose a noise. Sure, they know about cars...but they can't hear what you're hearing. It's like asking Beethoven to tune your piano because it doesn't sound right.

I'll try to get some pictures soon. I'll be going under the car this weekend so probably then. But yes, it does feel like the strut is bottoming out. Just wasn't sure what a decent brand or type of strut would be for replacement. But do you think it's recommended that I'd just replace the struts all the way around if that's the case?

Not really sure, bud. Iduno what else is done to the car or the condition/issue with the current parts.
