Strange "Thump" sound

[lawrencecar]

2017 Ecoboost with 1000 miles, driving 30 + mph occasional quick "thump" sound heard from front of car. Cant say for sure when it started possible after FP tune/CAI. Was thinking suspension related. Thoughts? Thanks

Would check the CAI for any loose attachment points before blaming anything in a factory-new suspension.

More info needed. "occasional quick "thump" sound" could be one time during one trip...several times during one trip...one time during every trip...

Also - what is the character of the "thump"? Loud? Soft? Sharp? Muffled? Under accel? When braking? When turning? When turning AND braking? Can you repeat it at will?

 

[lawrencecar]

couple times every trip usually , soft thump, not under accel, driving straight, Cant repeat at will, seems around 40 mph it will happen occasionally. Thanks

Does it seem to happen at the same places on the same roads?

No can be any road, very intermittent
