ok so it started like a couple of days ago...and the sound is not loud but it is significant enough for you to hear it in the car. hte thing is, it doesn't happen ALL THE TIME..it happens randomly...

i brake and it makes a single light thump noise coming from the front...iono right or left side though...

i'm guessing it's either the brakes, axle, wheels or ABS system? because when i brake and the sound comes up, i feel the thump (very lightly though) under my right foot.

any ideas? i checked the brake fluid, and the wheels and hte brake (all visually) to see if anything was stuck and what not...now i dont know what might be the problem. thanks guys

 

Sure there's nobody in the trunk?

 

same thing happens to me...i checked..its nothing...

 

thump noise. did u check to c if ur lugnuts on ur wheels are tight. cause when my are loose. it makes a thump noise

 

it only happens when i BRAKE. if i don't brake, it doesnt make a sound. and the noise is very light....sure its nothing krazy99cl? cuz i drive a lot..thanks

 

Just had the same problem. It's most likely your strut arm bushing. My front end passenger was thumping everytime I stopped. The rubber bushings had disintegrated. Have a shop check your strut arm bushing and sway bar bushing, those were the 2 that went on me

 

alright thanks. btw, if i dont fix it, is it dangerous? or does it just get annoying cuz of the sound?

 

Come'on man - how cheap are we? That bushing cant be more than 5 bucks from the dealer. I had to do this to the prelude once - not only is it cheap, its even easier to put on then driving to the dealer to get it.

 

i can relate from this morning
i kept on getting this noise every time I hit the brakes
after i got frusterated i started investigating. next thing i know i find a full wine bottle under my seat. i guess i took it last night from the wedding and was too to remember
also check your front engine mount
maybe its due for a change
