Every time i go over a large bump I can hear & feel something shifting below my car, I am not sure what it is or if this is normal... it is pretty loud, doesn't sound like anything on the interior of my car. The only thing that happened recently was my car bottomed out going over a large speed bump(think it hit the exhaust)... Maybe I knocked something loose? Any ideas?

I have this problem as well. It must be pretty common. Is it a sort of hollow sound - like someone knocking on an empty coffee can?

my camaro does it.. its the axle housing hitting the frame.... my bump stops have rotted off and one of my rear spring insilaters are collapsed thus metal hitting metal, and the rear of the car sits sideways :/
it'll get fixed when I overhaul the car in the spring :DWolf<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/249111/7\" target=\"_blank\">95 black t-top camaro</a>,3.4 5 speed,ud pullies,plugs/wires,de-shaft tb & gutted airbox, homemaid short throw shifterComment

I agree with Fred.. I just read on a website the signs of a tranny mount wearing out and it seems to be a perfect match.. Suppsoed to be only a 10-25 minute fix... visit this website to see step by step instructions on how to replace the tranny mount

I will let every one know after I replace mine if that was indeed the problem.

well, this may or may not be the problem, but if the bump is coming from one of the wheels it is almost always a swaybar link. especially if you take a lotta hard turns.(hehe) just a thought, those bumps are reletivly common2000 3.8L Camaro A4 Pewter Y87<br />K&N Filter, SLP Ram Air kit, Eibach Pro Kit, Flowmaster 80 series, Silverstars, NGK plugs and MSD Super Conductor Wires, Electric Water PumpComment

its easy to determine if its the tranny mount. take it off and see if theres a tear in it. i wouldnt think it would only be on bumps if it were the the mount. you should also get it on hard shifting.Comment
