Occaisionally when driving on uneven road or other surface....get a bass sounding thump in what sounds like driver side rear of car...car drives fine at all speeds...does not appear to affect ride or performance...have checked spare tire and tail pipe and does not appear that either is the cause...any good guesses or advice regarding what to check for next? Thks, Rich

Check the strut/shock mounting and see if oil is leaking out of shock
