so today a thump started in my front end for no apparent reason. it sounds to me like its coming specifically from the front left tire. im thinking it may be a front wheel bearing as ive though that they may have been going for a while now but i went from a slight noise to a defenitally noticable noise on ecceleration. at low speeds there is a slight whooping sound that gets faster as i accelerate. i dont think its my half shafts as i just had it inspected with no sign of wear. i didnt notice any great motor shift when i surge the throttle for the engine bay. ive read on here in two different posts that the lug nuts maybe loose which is a possibility that i will look into when and if it ever decides to stop raining. Just trying to get the expert opinions as im not great at diagnosis. i think that this is quite a coincidence but i ran through i pretty big puddle today as it was pouring pretty well on my way to work and vision was limited. but i drove ###### 20-25 miles before i heard any noise. also the thumping stops when i hit the breaks. like something is putting hold down pressure to hold whatever is thumping in place. and it is definatly a thump not a click as you would be used to hearing from a half shaft. thanks in advance guys/gals (i know your out there)
