Default a knocking sound

I have a brand new RSX for a few weeks and when driving on an uneven road, sometimes i hear a knock (bumpstops noise?). Does it seem normal or am i just being paranoid?

You may want to take the car back to the dealer and have them check out the shocks. Is the car lowered at all. Sounds like the shock is bottoming out usually happens when you have a dead shock.

Probably the exhaust hitting the body or suspension. Subarus are notorious for it. I would have the dealer check it to make sure though since the car's still under warranty.
