Medicine Hat,
okay i recently noticed that when im off the throttle there is this constant thumping noise comming from the front drivers tire area. It only happens when im coasting or deaccelerating(engine brakeing) if i use the brakes lightly the thump completly goes away until i let off the brakes. also if im even accelerating the slighetst bit 1-5% TPS the thud also goes away.

Any Ideas Guys?

im thinking a sticking rotor?
 
can you describe the thumping a bit more? Is it like you're running over a body? like someone is hitting the wheel well with a hammer? or like your drivers side front tire is bubbling out? Could almost be anything. Sounds almost more suspension related than brakes. How old are your struts?
 
Warped Rotor. Lose pads. Stuck caliper. Could be a couple things. The sound goes away, or become less noticable? Is it a thumping or a clicking?
