Wierd Thumping noise in suspension...

Anyone have any odd suspension noise before. It's not real loud but when going over a lot of smaller bumps there is a definite thunk in the front suspension on the passanger side.

Im going to guess a bushing of some sort and possible the lower ball joint. It kinda sounds like my civic did when the lower ball joint went out.

Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and what was the cause of it.
BTW Car is out of warrenty.

Thanks

It sounds like you got bad endlinks. Make sure they are tight and make sure the rubber isnt ripped or torn on them. Check out your struts to make sure they arent leaking. Do you feel anything out of the ordinary besides the thump?

Everything else feels normal. Just the noise for now.

Hopefully I will get some time tommrow and jack the car up and see if any bushings are bad.

Swaybar endlink. Dezod is coming out with some nice ones any day now.
Need for endlinks? (come on in!)
If you're still under warranty, there is a TSB for it.

possibly a rear beam bushing-usually more of a banging than the links produce.
