Were your rear shocks replaced every 60k or 4 years? Alignment and or worn bushings including subframe bushings should be evaluated.

Not sure i just bought it last 2 weeks ago at 160k....what does that mean new shocks are needed or maybe a rear wheel alignment b/c of the touring suspension..?

Shocks wear out faster on rear and owners never change them till they leak but they don't leak till way past useful life.
