Ok, I can't recall when it started, but recently my car makes a wierd 'thumping' noise coming from the drivetrain. it occurs at all times[ accelerating, decell, in nuetral or in gear , turning etc etc etc]. I'm not sure what it is.
I figure its drivetrain because it increases repitition as I increase speed, and it sounds like its coming from the front passenger side.
'watch'/listen to it in this video I captured.

Could it be a CV shaft? wheel bearing?
my CV shafts sometime click when i'm starting to move in reverse, but its fairly new and theres no tears in the boots.
I was thinking its the wheel bearing because i *think* this is the only wheel to have not had the wheel bearing replaced yet; but when i jack up the car the wheel doesn't have any wierd shakes in any abnormal direction. It stays firm just like all the other wheels with new wheel bearings.
Could it be the carrier bearing or U-joint? I'm not sure what they sound like when they go so I don't know.
any ideas?
