Thumping sound from the rear
Hey guys,
I need your help again! I'm getting a constant thumping noise comming from the rear of the car. It sounds like a knock, as if someone is knocking on a hollow log at a constant tempo; faster the speed the faster the tempo is. It's constant at any speed, yet it stops when I apply the breaks. Apart from that, I get a high pitch noise or squeak, which sounds like its comming from the suspension, although I am not certain of this. My initial guess is that I blew out a shock or strut(not sure if we have struts). My friend had also confirmed the squeak as I drove by. Anyways, what do you guys think it is? Any help will be appreciated!

A pitted CV cup would most likely shudder, but only under acceleration- no symptoms when coasting. Bulldog's description states it is speed-dependent until brakes are applied. The first, and easiest, thing to check is that your axle nuts are torques to 220 ft.lbs.
Have you removed your wheels for any reason just prior to this happening?

Skip,
Wheels have not been taken off. I will be bring my car to a shop tomorrow. I hope that it will not cost me much, if it is in fact a CV. It is present when I am coasting.
Carlo,
Under sharp turns, the thumping does not get any worse. It will, however, produce a squeaking noise that is louder than when I am driving normaly.
