Need help diagnosing a problem in the front end - When I turn to the right I can hear / feel
a slight thumping like my rim was bent. It seems to be coming from the dirvers side front wheel.
I've tried two sets of rims, same deal. No other loud noises or noticible vibrations. Just a constant thumping when I turn the wheel to the right.
Bad ball bearing is what I'm thinking. But it could be end links or something. Anyone have an idea let me know. Thanks!

Sounds like wheel bearing, just had mine changed this week
had the same noise you are describing. Car was fine when going straight, even over bumps, so ruled out control arms for now. Just hear the sound when wheel is turned (i.e. lane change or highway merging), had wheel bearing changed and so far no more noise... Granted is only less than a week, but haven't heard the noise since...
