Things that go thump....(in the night as well :)

["Rob Andrews" <rob@smu.edu>]

Car in question '93 90.  I occasionally get a thump, feels like a hammer
hitting the floor board or something to that effect when I make hard lefts
only.  Struts are new (had the problem before then) as well as strut mounts,
subframe bushings are relatively new, control arm bushings new...tie rod,
ball joint, sway bar all in fine condition.  Replaced the left side trans
mount awhile back.  I think it might be the right side trans mount, because
that is the side where the noise comes from.  Any other ideas?  Could a
little free play in a subframe bolt hole cause this.  I had a problem the
dealer caused and one of
the subframe holes got a little wallowed out.  The bolt and nut on it now
are nice and tight though.  I will check the trans mount tomorrow, my other
one I replaced, was completely cracked all the way around.  Wondering if the
same thing happened.  Don't think my motor mounts are bad though.  BTW- this
car has been GREAT.  I have 94K miles on it, and people still think it is
brand new, not kidding!
Later!
