Does anyone hear a light thud from your rear end when you hit a bump while going fast.

I think my struts are are bad, I want to go with some Tokico's, does anyone second this or does anyone incur this same problem?

 

Yup. Mine does the same thing. I have new rear shocks, too. I figure it's just the dynamics of a heavy rear end with a lightweight chassis.

 

What brand shocks did you get?

 

Cheapies. They were 12.99 each at Schucks. I think they are Monroes. They did improve handling quite a bit, and they did help with the thud, but it still happens when I hit our speed bump just right.

 

my thump is my exhaust bumping into my driveshaft

 

man sounds like yalls cars need help.. none of mine make a noise when i hit a bump at 30 or 50 mph!!

 

mines got it too. im hopin its the same problem as bens car, might be my driveshaft is what i was told. gonna check it out as soon as it stops raining or i get some scuba gear

 

Could it simply be the axle hitting the bump-stops? Old springs will be make that happen more often. I've got new Eibach's and mine doesn't thump unless I hit a bump REALLY hard.

 

That sounds reasonable. Mine has the stock springs, too.

 

yeahhh that could be it
im lowered on st springs

 

I also have all stock suspension!

 

i get a loud scraping sound over speed bumps.

then i realized it was my exhast piping

no thud here, just 4 blown struts

 

yeah, no thud here either......just completely shot stock suspension.

 

my car used to thud over speed bumps... that's when I found out the wheel wells were rusted through around the leading arm mounts, causing the driveshaft to bottom out on the floor of the car... not good.... I fixed it though... nor more thud!
