Easy to test shocks and should be free to test (no harm going to a fitment centre and letting them have a look)

Check to see if all bolts on the top shock mountings are fastened
Check for leaks on the shock

And after all that - check out the rear bushes like rat said.

You won't believe how many bushes are on the rear suspension :shock:
