Why do I hear a thumping noise when I drive?
If you hear a regular thumping or vibration that varies with your speed as you’re driving down the road, the tires are usually the culprit. Many times, the tread in the tire is separating internally. Try this: Drive across a parking lot at 2 to 3 miles per hour, then let go of the steering wheel.

What kind of thumping noise does a car make?
It sounds as if I have a bold spot on a tire and is very faint. I can also feel it faintly through the steering wheel. It’s not a ticking or hard knocking noise. Also, the noise is variable depending on the speed AND the duration of noise is also speed dependent (going slow, the thump is drawn out. Going faster, the thump duration is shorter.)
Why does my rear wheel make a noise?
Also, the rear shock mounts are very close to the inside of the wheel (for 16″ wheels), so if the wheels are out of round or the shock mount is bent, it can rub up against the inside of the wheel. Bad wheel bearings usually make a groaning noise not a pulsating noise, and brake problems can usually be felt through the pedal.

Why does my rear suspension make a knocking noise?
There are several things that could be causing the knocking sound from the rear suspension. My first guess was worn out bushings allowing metal-to-metal contact, broken sway bar end-links, or worn out shock mounts (top or bottom). If you can, pop the rear tire off and inspect the suspension mounts for cracked rubber or worn out parts.
