Hello,

Ive asked a few people what they think the issue im having could be. maybe someone here could give me a tip.

Problem:

When i turn left, the right front tire will viberate or make a humming noise at around 25-30 mph. i was told maybe its bearings, and i should jack the car up and rock the tire top and bottom and listen for clicking. no noticeable clicking. going to tighten lug nuts tommorow.

Also going straight at any speed, one of the front tires makes a click noise like a rock may be stuck in the tread, though i removed all rocks, it still clicks.

And the last issue, going over any bump will yield a loud banging noise, like the spring may be getting stuck then slamming down at a certain point.

any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think it is the tires. It sounds like a classic CV jint problem.
