Default Taking Speed Bumps With The tC

I’m driving a stock, manual tC in Super White. Whenever I roll over speed bumps, even at very low speeds, when my back tires go over the bump, I think the spare jumps up and makes a really big “thump” noise. Just checking to see if anyone else has experienced this too?

Hit the bumps at an angle.

That will stop the problem. :D

Happens every time to me too... was wondering what the heck that was.

I'm a delivery driver and everytime I leave the store I have three speed bumps to get over before I'm on the road.

I sell the tC in H-town and i use to notice the same thing in our trac model. So I decided to investigate. I decided that it could only be 2 things. So I tightened the hub but still a bit of noise so I made sure the tools were secured and still a noise. I finally found the cause of my problem. Apparently there is a tire hold down strap that was in one of the compartments that When I took out made the noise go away. So check to see if that does it for you. Good luck
