2010 SS Camaro. I have had a "bump or thud" noise in right front of car the last couple times I've had it out. It has Eibach adjustable coilovers with adjustable dampners (which I know nothing about). It sounds like it could be in the shocks, you can't feel it, but definitely hear it. I don't believe it's in the brakes as the brakes have no effect on the noise. It not constant, but often. Speed is not a factor, does it slow or up to speed, backwards or forwards. Today after driving 15-20 miles the "Maintenance Tire Monitoring System" message with warning light came on. Any suggestions?

No comment on the tire light.
Lift the car to install Eibach's?
If so, you might want to retighten those big bolts that connect the front sub frame to the unibody. No bushing, just metal to metal contact and just a tiny bit of play can give a noise like you describe. A lift can make that play sound off.

The front swaybar connector links fail quiet often and can cause a thud/knock. It showed up more on mine when turning a corner than when just going straight though.
