My 2003 dreamcruiser is making a strange noise. When the car is cold and I accelerate to 45 it makes a noise like I am running over those bumps on the side of the highway. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know what the problem might be?

What shape are the tires in Lisa? Much tread left on them? My original Goodyears began making a lot of noise as the tread wore down. Sometimes tires get "flat spots" on them from sitting out in the cold and until they warm up and round out, may make a noise and ride rough.

Check your rear lower control arm bushing I just replaced mine in the 04 at 120,000. They get hard & start to break off in chunks as they are rubber

Thanks for the info.
Rick my tires are new so I don't think that's it. Catinpt the noise comes from the front of the car under my feet. Is there a bushing in the front?

The lower control arms are in the front and the rear bushing is just about under your foot
