This means your suspension is due for replacement. The thumping you are hearing is either from your rear struts or coil springs. Could also be the seats as well. The pressure in the struts starts to leak out, and become useless. The noise that you're hearing is coming from the strut banging up and down, with no tension on it. It could also be something as simple as a few loose seat bolts (between strut, and body), have someone literate in mechanics look at it. It is very common in Ford Tarus, Ford Escort, Lincoln Towncars, and many other vehicles have suspension issues, well, with the rear anyways. I hope I've helped you narrow down, what the noise could be. (Check your spare tire as well, see if it's fastened correctly.)
