I hear and feel a thumping noise coming from the front wheel area as I turn my steering wheel to backup from my driveway. I'm slightly lowered on Tein springs and don't think thats the issue. Has anyone had a similar experience? It tends to only happen when I initially backup. If I park in my driveway and backup again I don't hear the noise anymore. Any suggestions or ideas?.
Thanks

My wife noticed this yesterday, but I believe it's just the tire slipping a bit on the concrete when the wheels turned all the way. I am lowered on Swifts and did rub on the front right tire when turn all the way as well. Used a heat gun and molded the liner back a bit. Solved that issue, but still get some occasional tire slippage.

No, it's the big squishy bushing at the rear of the front lower control arm loading up and suddenly releasing. They all do this under the right circumstances until you get rid of the fluid filled Pillsbury doughboy bushing.

Still waiting on the verdict for the solid bushing. I have the spares on the shelf right now waiting to press the replacements in once Figs tests the solid one.

Mine is stock and does it in reverse with the wheels locked left or right, especially when it is cold! Sounds like a loud thumping. The first time it happened I thought I had a flat!
