How do you know if your struts or shocks are not working on Honda Civic?

To check if the shock absorbers are shot, press down on each corner of the car with as much weight as you can. Quickly remove you weight and see if the car returns to level WITHOUT any bounce. If there is a tendancy for the car to bounce the shock absorber is not damping out the spring.
Springs need to be visually checked to see if they are broken. Check for rust on each coil. If a spring is shot the car will not sit level and will feel like it's wallowing when driving.
On the Civic, if in doubt, replace both shock and spring on each corner. It's doesn't cost to much for the parts but you do need some special tooling to do the job yourself.
