Tumping noise help
As some of you guysmight know I got into a small accident with the sidewalk on the front right side. It was very minor, and my fiberglass bumper and fender are damaged. My rim came out ok.
Ever since then Ive been getting a slight "thump thump thump" noise. Kind of like going over the reflectors between lanes, but not as loud. So I lifted my car, checked the suspension, tires , and drivetrain to try to find something loose. Everythign seems ok.
1)tires out of balance? No, because the sound does not get worse as I get on the freeway, if anything, it stays the same but I can hear it less from road noises
2)axle or drivetrain? I dont think so because it does not sound worse as I rev, and The sound is there when I am in neutral just as loud as when I drive. I hear it most at low speeds
3) exhaust hitting something? Maybe, but like I said, the sound is still there when I am rolling in neutral
4)maybe a broken bushing? suspension bushing? subframe bushing? I moved some of the suspension with my hands, but its not much force. Im not sure.
Its not a very loud noise, but I noticed it after my front right side impact. The sound is coming from the rear half of my car, but I cant pinpoint it. Any suggestions on what it might be? ANy suggestions on trying to figure out he problem?
