I'd still check that rear U-Joint a little more closely. They can often FEEL right but still have a problem under load.
Check the universal joints in the driveshaft.
Type your answer here... Rims bent
The driveshaft might be out of balance or dented in some way, also check the u joints
It is more than likely that you need a new strut
More than likely the sway bar links - TSB on these
1. She had a thumping headache.2. The giant was thumping on the ground.3. The thumping beat of his heart.
yes Thumping is a verb.
Bad tire? Rotate and see if thumping changes
Do you hear the thumping a certain amount of time after filling the fuel tank? I have noticed that some time after filling up i also hear a thumping sound, it could just be fuel sloshing around in the tank. Have you had the struts replaced this is 03 everyone seems to forget these things need to be replaced too.
By "thumping" them with your knuckles. As my father used to say: If the watermelon sounds like you are thumping your head, the melon is not ripe enough. If the watermelon sounds like you are thumping your belly, the melon is too ripe. If the watermelon sounds like you are thumping your chest, then the melon is just right.
The thumping noise you are talking about is caused by the wiper going too far one way or the other and coming up on the seal around the windshield and on the return swing dropping off that seal onto the windshield. First turn the wipers on. Second when they are in the middle of the swing, turn the key off. Third take the driver side wiper off making note of where you pulled off from. And fourth put it back on just one or two splines towards the passenger side of the vehicle. Hopefully this will resolve your issues with the thumping noise. But if it doesn't, try moving it (or the passenger side wiper) in the other direction.
