it seems like whenever i go over bumps, there is a thudding noise in my front wheels/axle/shocks, whatever something is making a noise.. im used to a lifted SUV as my car, and a beater impreza that i rally down my dirt road, and it doesnt make the noise... is it normal and im just noticing it because im in a car thats low and that i care about? or is it a problem that i should look into

usually like a cv axle, or a strut that's loose. I had a noise and just tightened up the suspension.
