Any idea where the thump is actually coming from? My first guess would be a broken transmission mount.

tourqe arm bolt hitting floor look for the clean spot under the car. it is usually in the tunnell where it mounts to the trans.
just a guess sounds like a good place to look since it one thud.

no thats not it its farther back where the noise is coming fromwhen we replaced the shocks it got better but didnt go away. i know its not the tourque arm or tranny mount and i looked just to make sure because i dont know where to go with this. but if i were to pin point the location it would be somewhere in the passenger rear any suggestions greatly appreciated and it not the exaust either im lost and i dont like the sound thanks again

Check all the bushings in the suspension arms back there. Check for loose bolts, cracked mounts.
I had my upper shock mounts punch through the floor pan. I was going to suggest that, except you said you already replaced the shocks.
