The only time my car did that was when I hit a curb.. $1500 worth of expensive repair-work later.. No more thumping! My rotors weren't warped, but the passenger side suspension was shot- shocks, tie rods, etc.

where did you get your car checked out .. because i dont know the problem? should i go to a collision place? and if i do have to replace the tie rods .. are these things i can do my self or just go to the shop and pay the 1500?
