Default Front suspension thumping

Hi all,

I have a 2010 Grand Touring. I like it quite well although I really wish I'd purchased the Sport with a manual transmission. Anyhow...so much for taking the wife shopping with me...

I have a fairly pronounced thumping in the front suspension that's noticeably worse when it's cold. I have around 40K miles and it's been around for 6K or so miles. Does anyone else have this? Or, can anyone tell me what this is?

Thanks.
David

Hi David, I have the exact same symptoms on my wife's 2009 GT. I expect that it may be a front strut problem. I have recently replaced the rear struts and that was a simple job. I expect the fronts are much harder. Probably going to take it to the shop.
