Thumping suspension

["aaron_t_graham" <aaron_t_graham@xxxx>]

My suspension has been making thumping and "boingy" noises in the
front (mostly driver's side, I believe) for a couple of months now. 
I'm trying to determine what exactly is causing the noise and how I
can fix it.

The noise most often happens when I stop hard. However, there is a
spot in the road near where I live that dips down just a little bit
right before a stop sign (so I'm always slowing down at that point),
and it almost always makes a noise there, no matter how slow/fast I'm
going/stopping. The suspension doesn't seem to like that spot very
much.

I had my suspension lowered at DMC Houston almost 3 years ago, so the
springs and shocks are relatively new -- I shouldn't expect anything
to be wrong with them yet. However, I've probably put 40k miles on
the car since then (can't tell for sure--stupid angle drive!).

Any suggestions?

(BTW: This isn't the "tools sliding around in the luggage compartment"
problem that I've seen discussed on the list previously.)
