This is driving me crazy. When I go over a bump or dip in the road I get this "bang" noise in the front end. This noise can NOT be duplicated when pushing down on the front end of the car.

I first thought that I was bottoming out! Thought I lost the oil pan, but there are is scraping on the underside of the car.

Seems that the springs have recently been replaced. Just bought the car for our daughter at the beginning of Dec. The noise started about 2 weeks ago.

The front bumper was loose and have tightened it but this noise persists. It makes no noise driving on straight, smooth roads. If you hit a dip while turning it will make the same bang noise.

Please help. Any suggestions are really appreciated!!

TIA
