Volkswagen Passat B6 - Shock Absorbers - Need replacing? - VW & Seat owner

I have a 2008 90,000 mile Passat Estate, owned from new. The car bounces and crashes when going over full width speed humps. I think the shocks need changing, but i've been to two garages who say they're OK.

Has anyone else had the same symptons?

We had two Passat estates, a 1983 GL5 and a 1994 2.0GL. The first went to 192,000m, the second to 242,000. Neither needed attention to the suspension. Possibly worn suspension links? Or loose exhaust hitting the car?
