Noise comming from drivers side Suspension area....HELP!!

[Bigturbonotch]

Alright so this has been going on for sometime now..about 1000 miles. It is commming from the drivers side. The noise is a thump, thump, thud noise which gets persistant as the wheel turns faster. I replaced the spindle, but not the bearing, and lower control arm. A lady made me hit a curb so they were bent. I am not sure what is causing this noise. At first I thought it was my tires in the front which I bought. They is more wear on the inner tread. Someone help me out this is SOOOOOOOO anyonying. Thanks!!!

Try jacking the wheel off the ground and turning by hand to see if you can hear anything.

Did that yesterday...no noise when turned by hand, only when driving.

I had a sim. problem (with my 1999 Cobra)
it turned out being a brake line bumping up against the tire :biggthump
(but it was the rear wheel)

 

[wahoo]

Replace the wheel bearing. Does the car make more noise if the wheel is turned either left or right when the car is up to speed?

the car makes noise when speed is increased too. I will probably get a new wheel bearing if you all think that is the problem!! Thanks!

have you had the front end off the ground and shake the tires side to side as well as up and down? it's a good way to check for a bad bearing and bad tie rod ends..
