Arrow Thumping From Rearend.......

Alright i have some sort of thumping coming from my rear end on the drivers side you can really hear/feel it at about 35-37mph it's really got me stumped.......

Im almost sure it's not the driveshaft u-joint's because i just replaced them about a month ago anybody ever have this problem?!?!?!?

That could have turned ugly real fast. I had a front tire come off at 45 mph. I made sure the lugnuts were tight, but I did not make sure they were damn tight. Ended up costing me a fender, a new brake rotor, a new hub assembly, and 5 new lug nuts.

I had my new 31's put on my new aluminum rims by a vocational school so I wouldn't have to pay $60-75 having them mounted and balanced. I left the school and about 10 miles later I heard a "Clunking" noise coming from the front left tire, I was thinking I blew an axle bearing because of the weight of the tire but after checking all the lug nuts they were ALL loose, Good thing nothing got damaged. I called the school and told them and they told me the air compressor was acting up so I didn't want to complain too much and let it go at that just in case I need to use their services for another time. Moral of this long story is "Tighten up them lug nuts "MFT"...Tj
