A relatively common problem on the 850 is for the front strut bushings to go bad and start to make a thumping sound when you hit a bump. There's one on the top of each strut assy. Because of the large spring tension you really can't tell if they're bad unless the strut is taken apart. The "indy" term refers to an independent "non dealer" associated mechanic.
