Thanks Mike, I've always think highly of your comments/replies not only to me but also to others. I will replace the strut bushings as you recommended.

Originally I wanted to replace the accumulators was because of that thump in rear thinking the accumulators were shot. If it turned out that was because of the collasped strut bushings, then was my money and labor wasted on the accumulators? Could it be that the old accumulators were still good eventhough I see foams when I released the fluid? I checked them out by inserting a rod and pushed hard to see if it could go deep inside but it did not move because the diaphram was still intact filled with gas.

I am just a little upset because I could have solved the problem by replacing $2.50/ea bushings vs $110/ea accumulators.
