Default how can i tell if my shocks or springs are messed-up?

well whenever i go over a speed bump, i hear my front wheels make some sort of noise... either from the shocks or the springs, im pretty sure its the springs but, the back ones dont make that sound at all?? are my springs going bad or, is this normal?? thank you!

do you have aftermarket springs or shocks? could be your tires rubbing on the wheel wheel...i assume you're not talking about your lip or the front of your car scraping on the bump...btw, its spelled "messed"

i have stock shocks and springs, and i have the 15 inch blades with flaken azenis, i know for a fact that it aint the rims or the tires because i used to have the fat fives on em with different tires and they make the same noise... ever since i got my teg a year ago, its been making that noise... any thoughts on that?

uuummmm i wouldnt know... im not the first owner and i bought my car last year in July, and im pretty sure its always made that noise since i bought the car...

would anyone agree with me it might be the shocks... cuz the little noise only happens whenever i go up on a speedbump... thanx for your advice/comments

edit: my car is a 1994 Acura Integra GS-R with about a little under 99K miles...
