2008 Aura makes thumping sound
Hi, I’ve owned my Saturn Aura for almost 11 years. I’ve kept up the maintenance and had all recall work done. Aside from that, no real problems until this mysterious thumping sound. Mechanic has checked front end, back end, belts and has found nothing. Please help.

What area of the vehicle is the thumping coming from? Approximately?
When do you hear the noise (hi speeds, lo speeds, high rpms, low rpms, accelerating, decelerating?)
Pulling away from a stop, coming to a stop, hitting potholes, going over curb height bumps, when turning one way or the other, when driving straight.
The more thoroughly you can describe the sound when it always happens AND when it doesn't, along with the general location of the sound, the easier it will be for us to help you

I agree with derf. Your description of a thumping noise is too vague. My initial thought would be sway bar bushings, tie rod end links or struts. BUT, you didn't give enough information for any of this to be applicable.
