Q: I get a thudding sound from the passenger side wheels when I go into a left turn or drive into a left curve.

asked by on July 18, 2017

I receive a thudding sound that seems to come from the passenger side front or rear wheel. I only hear it at high speed 35-45 mph when driving into a left hand curve or turn. The tires are less then 6 months old. I don't feel any vibration when the noise occurs.

My car has 147000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
