Default Clunk Under Driver's Floorboard

I'm not sure if it's suspension or something else (but I'm guessing suspension related,) but when I'm driving around 25 mph I get a relatively noticeable tap under the floorboard when I hit the cracks in the road. I assumed it was my bumper support that rusted in two pieces, but I made a new one today and it's still happening. Also just put in new bump stops two days ago and that didn't change anything. Any ideas? I don't think it's anything major, but it's buggin me.

Thanks,
Steve

&^%%$%$$#^#^%*$%!!!!



It really never ends. I'll look in the morning and hopefully that's not it. I just spent >$200 on parts alone this week trying to get it good to go up north. Maybe my shock came loose right? That could be it... Thanks for the info...Even though it's not good news.

I would not lose sleep over the t-bar mount. I drove my 94 over a year with a broken mount, until someone hit me and totaled it (unrelated obviously)
Its just annoying to drive around with the noise.

Well, that's good to hear at least. I've got a 600 mile round trip ahead of me starting this evening. You'll probably see a "How do you fix this?" thread in a week or two.
