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.)
It is more than likely that you need a new strut
Bump, clump, (a) hump, slump, grump, lump,
ball joints
It actually can be from the rear axle being too low to the ground. The back of the car hits the speed bump. That was the case with my bro's car anyway
The homonym of bump is bump. Homonyms are words that are spelled the same and sound the same but have different meanings.
check the rear drag links for wear the ball joints wear out a lot on them
Well, honey, "bump" has a short vowel sound. It's short and sweet, just like me. So, if you're ever in doubt, just remember that "bump" is short and sassy.
There are a few different things which could cause wheel shaking and thumps when hitting a big bump. The most likely cause however, is that the struts need to be replaced.
Yes, because it is roughly the sound that bumping into something makes.
jump, clump, rump, hump, dump, lump, stump, Forest Gump, trump, bump
A creaking sound when hitting a bump or dip in the road can be caused by worn out suspension components such as bushings, ball joints, or struts. It could also be due to loose or damaged parts in the steering or chassis components. It is recommended to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle to determine the exact cause of the noise.
your spine ya dummie
