Bad CV joint? It's speed proportionate, so the faster you go the faster the "thump thump thump" gets. You can feel it in the steering wheel, too.

Anyone else ever have this problem? Car has 130k but the axles probably have 100 or less.

Thanks.

 

Sure it's not a tire?

 

Yes, it did it with the summer tires as well.

 

Lsj axels aren't as strong as lnf so I guess it's possible. Any side to side vibration in the steering wheel or just the thump? Have you jacked it up and seen if there is excessive play in the joints?

 

I'll have to jack it up to inspect. When I swapped tires I didn't see anything off visually. I did reboot one of the axles a while back but that was on the passenger side, and my own fault for trying to rip the thing out of the intermediate shaft. lol

I know NAPA has good LSJ replacements, I might just throw one of those in and see if it helps. CABs are new as are the ball joints, struts, and swaybar links so I'm pretty sure it is either the axle or the wheel bearing, but wheel bearings usually make an airplane/propeller type noise when they go bad.

 

From everything you've changed I would say that going to napa isn't a bad idea.

 

Stay tuned. I need to do the back brakes while I'm at it as well.

 

You may not find this believable but my thumping was my control arm bushing. I just did all new control arms and it did away with the sounds.

 

He has already changed the bushings and ball joint in the arm so I have a hard time believing it's the arm.

 

Believable. Then my idea is out of the picture. Lol. I work at Napa and I use theirs. Good quality and I'm not just biased.
