a thudding noise from front driver side with vibration
Problem: I hear a thudding noisde from the front driver side when I am going up and down driveways on an angle.
When it happens :No noise when I'm going straight up but when i'm going up in an angle I hear 2 thudding noises.
Other replated symptoms: vibration of varying degree from as low as 55mph to as high as 80mph.
Car: 92SC400
wheel alignement: did not solve the problem.
new tires and wheel balancing did not solve the problem.
what could be the problem?

do you get vibration at 55-80mph range also?
This sucks..... this means I may have to rebuild my TEINS....

Yeah, i'm betting on the strut then. How long ago were they replaced? What's funny is when I had my prelude alot of people on the forums racing struts blewout quite a bit sometimes a few months after they got them.

There is a lot of hardware in the rear end, could be any of the bushes causing the thud but vibration is mostly related to "rotational" items like tyres, wheel bearings, rear drive shaft, diff?
