Front end "Wumping" noise

[racer9816]

be it that the box has lots of road noise i particularly notice a "wump wump wump" noise in my front end. Car drives fine and I checked the tires - have about 25% left on the rubber...... Question is am I due for an alignment?? Do yours make a similar noise?

Mine used to make a "grionk! grionk!" noise...

it was my control arm squeaking due to it being completely shot. $450 later, it's silent.

Could be your front struts (or are they shocks?)

Get it checked out asap or it gets worse and I mean on your wallet!

Very possibly could be a failing wheel bearing. When wheel bearings fail they make a sound similar to what you've heard.

While you are replacing those tires and alignment the wheels (yes you need both) have them look over the front suspension!

Good luck, bring the credit card!

Okay, so the real question is does it "whomp" more when you turn left or right? If it does, then its most likely a wheel bearing. I've got a bad front passenger wheel bearing as well. Its getting more pronounced as I make right turns.

whomping actually lessens in noise when turning, it is on the highway straight roads at speeds over 50mph that it is predominent....
Thanks,
