thump on hard acceleration
I just completed full front suspension work...
Both sides got:
lower control arm bushings
outer CV joint/boot
Bilstein TC sport struts/bearings
lower ball joint
BUT I still have a mild "thump" upon strong acceleration (just first gear).
I guess this is an engine mount. Seems like it is coming from the left side, or middle.
Wild difference in the price of motor mounts... Over $100 for standard rubber dog bone from some sources, or below $20! Beck Arnley is less than $40... I feel like trying a less expensive dog bone to see if the sound goes away. Or maybe the driver's side mount. Have you done this?? OK? Bad experience? Good experience?
