Weird 'Thunk' noise coming from front passenger side suspension.

hibbj · 03-11-2007

Every time I go over a bump, there's a 'thunk' noise coming from front-right side suspension...

It's been there for a while... maybe about 2 to 3 years??

I think the shock absorber on that side has gone bad.

Does any of the forum members have same or similar problems?

I know for sure it's not normal because that's the only side that makes such noise over a bump.

Oh, and suspension is soft enough for me to sway my car by just pushing the car from the side.

I had a similar issue, and it eventually started to sound like a flat tire thumping it ended up being a strut. It was the same side that you are having and started out when going over bumps but got to be more noticable.
