I had the exact same problem until last weekend. It was a strange thunk on
small bumps or dips in the road. I checked everything...ie ball joints which
aren't very old, inner & outer tie rod ends, and even the steering joints.
It turned out to be the crap strut bearings that I installed 30k miles ago.
when I got the strut assemblies out, they seemed like they were ready to
fall off. The struts were still ok. I swapped the entire setup and now
she's all better. I'm gonna do the whole thing again next month when I
order my neuspeed springs and koni's. Woo hoo I can't wait. Later
