Rhythmic thumping noise when car's moving - Car Talk

Jun 4, 2013 - Hello, I have started hearing faint thumping noise in my Murano, coming from the front most likely.

Hi, You need to get the engine mounts especially in this case the front one replaced, the quicker the better as you only end up with more problems if left to long. Please leave me feed back: Malcolm Campbell, Thanks.

I think it is the control arm they can make thumping and other strange noises coming from under there when you hit the brakes and let them off while your driving. What it does will range depending on how bad they are. The car may also pull to one side.

THUMPING NOISE COULD BE BLISTER OR BUMP ON THE TIRE,IMPROPER SHOCK ABSORBER OR STRUT DAMPER ACTION.

honda has problem with upper ball joints which is part of the upper control arms

ABS only senses if the wheel is spinning or not.
"Thumping sound" sounds like a bad problem. I've not had thumping sound from my front brakes ever.
I don't know how a caliper could cause thumping.
Is everything installed correctly and do the brakes stop the car??

could be ball joint, wheel bearing, brakes anything splash-guard ? is it a grinding noise or a thumping noise or a squealing noise or thumping and any of the above together along with it or just a single one listed above this will better my thoughts what it may be //

however if you can raise the vehicle and support it for safety reasons ....try to move the tire from side to side and back and forth top and bottom to see how much play is present ,if nothing proceed and remove the tires and look for anything obvious 1st ..and use a drop light flashlight to better view everything that stands before you and as well hands on and see if anything appears loose or broken ...for starters

You say you hear the noise when you "slow down". Does this mean you hear the thumping noise when you let off the gas and let the car coast to a stop or only when you are applying the brakes to decellerate?
If you only hear the noise while applying the brakes then I would assume it has something to do with your brakes. The first thing that comes to mind would be rotors that aren't true or warped which could make a thumping sound.

Do you feel any vibrations in your foot when it is applying pressure to the brake pedal? If you do feel a sort of pulsating feeling then it could very well be your brakes making the noise.

I hope I was of some assistance,

yes my cv axles had to be replace cause of the same thing but when you replace one side you need to do the other side at the same time cause when 1 goes bad the other is not that far behind . i know from experience
