Default I can't identify the issue!

I been over this a thousand times somebody help. When I'm driving and I start to brake from basically any speed I'm getting a small thumb you can here it an feel it it's nothing drastic or dangerous yet it's just really annoying . Iv had my u joints inspected still good I had the mounts looked at all good. If it were one of those I would think I would get some vibrations,rattles or something but I have none of those issues.. The only time I here it was when I'm slowing down to pull in a drive way or make a u turn or just flat braking would bad bushings be able to cause this? Btw it's from the rear somewhere an it's not the brakes

Is it a thump-thump-thump.....continuous while you are moving with brake pressure applied....or just one thump when you first hit the brakes to slow down?

It's just 1 thumb... Thee only example I can think of it's like you have groceries in the trunk an when u hit the brakes it slides forward and thumps lol that might not be a good example but it's the only way to describe it

Did you check to see that the spare tire is secure?

do you feel it under the floor? if so did you check your torque arm? loose bolts or bad/missing bushing on the tranny mount will cause this.

Certainly.......

I would put it in the air.....get in it, put it in drive and let the tires start to spin......hit the brake with someone back there under it watching for movement.
