HMMM, I have not noticed this. I have noticed that there is alot of what is in my opinion excessive noise underneath the car when at idle. can you tell if the thumping is coming from the front or rear?

Hi,
I've noticed the same sound on my car for quite some time already. If you are sitting in the car, you can actually feel it too.
Anyone has the answer to why this is happening?

YES! I freaked out when I first heard this. Most new Zs do it though. There are a bunch of threads on this by the way.
