Thump noise
So i recently changed out my fr axle because the cv joint went. It was driving fine for about 2 hours, now when i downshift,let off gas i get a thump from the front right side of the car. It is not consistant its just one thump or knock noise and it doesnt do it if im accelerating. I have no idea what it is but if anybody can help me diagnose that would be great. This is just so frustrating one problem after another with this car.

I had a thump coming from the front end after having the front axles out that I traced to the STABILIZER LINK. One of the ball-joints on the thing had worn and was thunking as the load changed. My guess is that it was ok prior to removal but when I put it back on the original orientation was disturbed and it thunked. I replaced it and the problem was gone.
