What is that thumping sound???

I noticed on the way to work today I have a loud dampened thumping noise when I hit rough spots in the road. It also did it on a big speed bump too.

The thump occurs many times in one occurance depending on how bad the road is. It sounds like the left side but I can tell if its from the front or rear. It sounds like its under the seat.

Can someone point out what the most likely causes of this might be, I will jack it up tonight to investigate.

Thanks

Check your tranny mount. You can't always tell if it is broke by just looking at it. You have to get up under the car and push up on the driveshaft about a foot behind the mount towards the rear of the car.
