The reason for inquire..... when i hit a small bump on the passenger
side, I here a noise coming from the passenger front tire area. This
noise is sometimes head on the passenger side when I hit a small bump
on the driver side tire. The noise is always from the passengers side.
It's like a thump.....

any ideas?

I'd suggest you need bushings somewhere before shocks.

Having said that, I don't know how to tell if you have auto-leveling or not.
But, even if you need shocks, the odds are very good they would not make any
noise, but bushings would certainly make the noises you describe.

AFAIK, auto leveling is a standard option (and is only available on)
Touring/Wagon models. You don't say what you have.
