    What's up bro!

    Regarding the thump, yes check the struts, but also check the outer tie rods.

    I got a clunk, replaced the trans mount thinking it was it. Nope! Checked my struts, nope! It ended up being the outer tie rod. I greased it, even though they are not supposed to be, by poking a needle grease tip into the boot and loaded it with grease. They still need to be replaced but at least I narrowed the issue down.

    Mechanic here also, not making friends to quick here lol, j/k Check your strut mounts, these things have a tail draggin problem anyway so my recommendation is to buy yourself some "quick struts" which is the spring, strut, mount all in one, you just unbolt the old and put the new one in and it feels like a new car. And check out www.rockauto.com, Cheapest parts, great service and super fast shipping, Got my last order in 1 day!
    F clean cars, I Ride Dirty!.....to hide the wicked body damage...
    97 GP GTP- Mystic Teal, 218k, fixing the damage
    91 Cherokee- 4 in. Lift, 31 Kumho M/T, tons of fun
    03 Chevy S10- full bag setup on order, will drag frame in under a month
