Thump?

Post by nismo »

Okay, today I noticed that I have a thump sound. Everytime I take a left turn a little fast, I hear it. What could be the problem? I will take the car to the dealership for sure for this, but first I want to hear everyone's responses. Thank you for repling to this post Inder

A single thump, or a recurring one? Could something be shifting in a storage compartment?

It was just a single thump. I'm hoping it's just something in my hatch. I have to check it out tomorrow when I fix my exhaust and change my oil.Inder

When I turn into my parking lot, I have to go up a little hump and when I do, the hatch makes a thump noise. I think it is because the car is getting a force applied diagionally across the chassis causing the hatch to shift a little. This seems to be the only time I get a thump noise.

The rear window usually closes if you're driving. You hit a bump in Michigan and the window will close.Inder
