Sounds like my muffler is banging on the floorboards when I go over any bump. So I took it to a muffler shop and they put it on a lift and the exhaust is tight. We began wiggling stuff but could not duplicate the thunk. The car has welded subframes and they look good. The car drives just fine except for the thunk.

Check the part of the exhaust that goes up over the axle. Usually it is to close to the floor boards and hits going over bumps. You can fix it by adjusting the pipes.

You check to see that your tranny mount is in good condition?
