Im getting a thumping noise on deceleration only. It sounds very similar to the noise you would hear if you had a flat tire. It is mostly noticeable where decelerating in 3rd gear, right around 2,000 rpm. Its hard to pinpoint if its coming from the left or the right side... kind of sounds like the clutch/trans right in the center of the front of the car.
Anyone deal with something similar to this?

My original diagnosis was that my axle that had been leaking grease was the cause of the noise, but I swapped the axle out for a brand new one (needed to be done sooner or later anyway). but the thumping persists.

Any ideas?

this one time i felt that in my old St, and it turned out my wheel was about to come off, so check your lugs to be on the safe side, this also happened on one of the spacers i had on the rear wheels recently, the lugs that bolt the spacer to the hub were stripping from the pressure and only one was holding it on... luckily i noticed and removed the spacers for safety's sake...

also have you checked the rear motor mount?
