i have a 98 lumina. 2 months after getting the used vehicle which was in terrific shape..(no warranty),,,i started hearing a thump in back end...my dad being a self taught mechanic has no clue what it is. the thump is in the back end driver side. my dad has replaced bearing, and still has the thumping. my 300lb husband bounced on back end and no thumping. when going over bumps it is loud. no shifty driving or anything just loud rattling when over bumps. we have changed tires and still have a problem. noticed alot of bad wear on back tires though. i was told 98 lumina has shocks in back not struts but everything seems to be great...except my dad noticed the rotor in back driver side is not flushing up like it should be making it where you can pull tire slightly in and out...but he does not undertand why. caliper looks great also. if any one has any clues let me know. we have been dealing with this for over a year. it is getting worse and i have 2 babies. i dont feel safe.
