Hi there,

I have a 2009 e-350 wagon with 55k miles. The car makes boom-ing noise when I drive it over bad pavement/bumps. The boom-ing or drumming noise causes pressure on ear drums. I would say it is like a bass sound that is set to the max.
I have read some old posts about "a dead man in the trunk." But, I am not sure what a dead man in the trunk sounds like over bumps lol. The one in my car makes a drumming noise that can be quite fatiguing. I am quite sure the noise comes from the rear of the car.

Does anybody have the same problem? Any fix for this?

Thank you

Take it to a mechanic.

Check the rear shock absorber, in addition to the rear air spring as mentioned by Konigstiger.
