slalom noise

I've been having this weird "thump" coming from the front end for a while now. When I go about 30 mph and steer left to right as if I were doing a slalom I can feel and hear this light "thump" sound and I can feel it through the floor and gas pedal only. Can't feel anything through the steering.

It's not the battery or spare tire being loose, I checked those and crossed them out. Frunk is empty. I took the car to a suspension shop while I was getting an alignment and had them check and they can't figure it out either. There doesnt seem to be excessive play in the front wheels.

What in the world could it be? Wheel bearings? I have no noise from them at all but according to maintenance records they are original at 135K miles.

2000 2.7L Manual, ROW M030 suspension, original lower control arms, drop links changed 25k miles ago. The steering is still pretty tight.

Anybody has any ideas?

Thanks,

Cristian
