a few things

I would think axles but there are none in the front of a 240 but look in the rear for ripped axles.. also look and see if your that low your tire may be banging against your car.. look in the whel well for any spots that look like it has just been rubbed clean.. if you continue to hit you will tear away your tire or fuq something else up... thuds are bad...
I know the feelin happened in my maxima my spring went bad and I was banging into my wheel well
good luck

FOO CHEEZY

Hey i knew that

Good observation holmes..lol
I dunno if the spring is out of place wouldnt the hole suspension be out of wack? I thought springs are compressed onto the strutt and a couple hundred pounds of pressure?
If it was off it wouldn't it shoot through your car?
I'm not being a smart *** I'm actually asking?
