Rear end noises

What does a blown rear strut and/or a broken spring sound like? I know pretty much that a spring will whine or click, but what about the shock? I think something went out on my backend when I was drifting the other day. When I push down on the backbumper or whenever I go over bumps I get a harsh squeeky bottoming out noise.

drivers side rear shock. koni one time. blisten the other. I have had tokico on now that have been there for a long time with out a problem. they are probably in need of replacement now though. anybody know what the warranty on tokicos are ? I had some one tell me they thought the had a lifetime on them. I als had a cracked spring on same side. it was a defective one it made a wineing sound while driving hard only.

Well, since rear shocks are cheap and easy to change, you mght just do the pair. If they are original it's time for new ones. I think it cost me like 40 bucks and took an hour.
