    thumping noise

    hey guys,..
    last few days i seem to be getting a regular thumping noise as if one of my tyres is running flat but they are all fine,.. ive checked the car over but cant see anything wrong,.. only thing i have found is a few missing wheel balences on front alloys, but this noise sounds rear related.

    any ideas?!?!

    thanks

    The axle rear bush mounts are a problem had mine done. Or maybe an exhaust hanger missing worth a check on the exhaust hitting the floor....
