what are you lowered on? tire size? wheel specs?

Perhaps looking at your tires would be a great starting point. Depending on how low you are setup, you are more than likely rubbing tires on the fenders. Don't ignore it if this is what is happening.

How about some pics? Maybe your struts are bad or your end links are bad.

it really depends on what sound the OP is hearing.

A "thump" will NOT be wheel bearings but could be a few things such as, loose endlinks, improper spring installation (springs binding due to incorrect placement on the strut), loose strut mounts, or hell even missing bumpstops.

Wheel bearings will usually make groaning noises more than anything.

To the OP. Were going to need a more detailed description. Like, what set-up did you lower it on, or what kind of sound it is making, where it is coming from, etc.

Also check suspension components your sway bar links can be loose and any slight bump can make them grind away and eventually start banging on the strut.

I haven't got time to check everything that you have told me, but now when I apply the brakes it makes a clacking sound. I'll probably take it to a mechanic shop because it will be a while for me to have a break from work to work on it. More info later!!!!
