[punky]

I'm getting this thud,thud,thud noise from the right suspension(mostly from the right rear) when going over bumps. My indy mb mech. can't locate the problem. He found bad chasis,body mounts and replaced them, still have thudding noise. Regarding the ride quality, it seems to me that the car skips over bumps, like a stone skipping on water instead of absorbing them. I'm thinking bad shocks but I would of thought the mechanic would of thought of this as well? Any ideas?

Sounds like shocks

Bounce the rear with your hands and you should be able to tell.

Rear ends pretty tight, no abnormal bouncing or noise from shocks. The emergency brake cable is kind of loose and will touch the bottom pan when plucked like a stringed instrument. When car gets gets out of the shop(new clutch, no pressure in radiator) I'll try tighening that and see if it stops noise.
