Heavy Thud

[Jim Hardie]

Turning into my driveway this evening (right turn, full lock) there was an extremely heavy clumping thud as if I had hit something. I had already straightened up to progress up the drive and carried on. A quick inspection failed to show any damage.

No warning lights came on when I turned the ignition back on and a short test drive did not throw up anything out of the ordinary. Any thoughts chaps?

I had a similar situation when my passengers entered the car about 1 m from a big bump.

I then lifted my foot from the brake pedal and drove off over the bump - the underbody hit the bump because the car had not managed to raise the suspension to a normal level within such a short period of time (not much over 1 s).

 

Did you, perhaps, press the suspension lowering button when slowing down to enter the driveway?
