Car making weird sound?

[eurogreek1]

When I go over a speed bump, the front end of my car sounds like it just bottomed out. What is it and would it be covered under warrenty?

Mine does this some times dont hear it much because stereo is to loud but I did notice this the other day, I hope it is nothing serious.

Could be suspension bushings, shocks, etc. Take it in. If you're under warranty, they'll cover it.

A THUMP is likely a sway bar/swing bar link gone bad, a POP is likely the control arm bushing.
