"thump" on reverse - 4/9/2008 9:17:55 AM    lucky4babs   Posts: 3 Joined: 4/9/2008 Status: offline Have noticed that I hear a mild, barely audible "thump" when I put car into reverse when starting up.  No other issues I know of- car seems to drive fine.  Is this normal?  Seems to coming from back of car.  Thanks!  Post #: 1

Or maybe more likely, the exhaust pipe hitting something.  The exhaust system hangers & brackets can get bent, moved around, or the rubber hangers stretch with age & heat.  The system expands as the car warms up, so that could be why it only happens when you first start? _____________________________ '03 Accord & '07 Civic '01 Saab 9³ & '05 9²x (in reply to lucky4babs) Post #: 2
