I have a dull thumping noise coming from my passanger rear of the car. I thought it was the strut and changed it out. It still happens over bumps. I checked out all the bushings and ect. on that side. Everything is solid. Any ideas?

Raise rear of car, put on stands. Grasp wheel and push/pull both horizontally and vertically.
If any movement then bearing, bushing.

Also inspect brakes, make sure everything is tight.
