Before I got my mystique I had them replace the suspension/ springs with original parts however I have been hearing a thump / thud sort of noise on bumps. It's like a loose but rather damped bounce sound. More precisely, It happens on those bumps where the suspension really moves under lower speeds, and the sound happens as the suspension moves up sounding like a rubber mallet on a water gallon!! ANy ideas please? Could it be that the strut nuts are not tight enough? so they bounce under heavy loads where the car is slow and the weight of the body sort of transfers from one side to the other?

Thanks.
