So I have an S14 and theres a sound that is coming from the back of my car. Its a thumping sound...like a midget knocking from under the back of the car. And I know there isn't a damn midget back there or in my trunk. I don't think its my vlsd or wheels or suspension.
However, this is the only way I can describe it. It used to thump lightly at low speed, usually in the beginning of 1st gear as I accelerate it gets louder and faster corresponding to the speed then it continues onto 2nd gear and finally goes away in 3rd. Now this was before I installed rucas. Now that I installed rucas, it's louder and more consistent all the way to 4th gear. As I accelerate, the thumping gets faster and louder. I don't have a clue to what this can be. I'm thinking it is coming from the drive shaft? Maybe my axles?...but they are still in great shape, I just inspected it today.
Help me out here. If you have ever experienced something like this or close...I need help. Thanks guys.
