Audible Thunk Noise

[TroyK]

gang,

have any of you ever noticed an audible thunk sound when you go through dips or twists? for example, virtually every time i drive into or back out of my driveway, i get this thunk sound as the car body twists. i always enter and exit my driveway at an angle so i don't scrape the front fascia. anyway, i can't tell if the thunk comes from the front suspension, or the uni-body shell. the dip in my driveway isn't that deep so i don't think the front suspension is reaching the end of its travel, but it could be. i have noticed a similar sound on rare occasions when one wheel encounters say a low curb before the other wheel hits it...like entering a parking lot. well, just wondering if anyone else has noticed similar. it's always done this...even when brand new; and i'm not too concerned about it, but am wondering if others have noticed this on their cars. thanks...Troy

Sounds like it could be a cracked coil spring.

I had a similar problem on a different cat..it turned out to loose suspension bolts that needed to be re-torqued.

Sounds like a good excuse for Ridgid Collars to me!!!
