    Dear folks,
    My 93 sw2 saturn is making a thump thump thump sound
    when I drive it. It doesn't make the sound when the engine is running and
    you're sitting still. It gets faster when the car speeds up. The sound
    sounds like it is coming from the engine compartment just about in the
    center (doesn't sound like it's coming from the tire area). What could this
    be and how much is it likely to cost to get it fixed? The car has 166,000
    miles on it so I've just been letting it make noise instead of taking it to
    the dealer. If it doesn't cost too much I might consider getting it fixed.

    Could be a motor mount or transmission mount.
    Rod knock would be heard at ALL times.
