Thumping Accord

    My 2000 Accord has a rythmic thumping that increases when with speed and
    with turning, much worse on a right turn. Tires are good, tire pressure is
    good. It seems to come from the left front. I'm told the CV joints are ok,
    that it was from scalloped tires from alignment problems.

    So I've had a 4 wheel alignment and replaced all 4 tires with 'new' used
    tires. Swaping the left front and rear does nothing for the problem.

    Any suggestions on where to go from here?

    Thanks.

    Bad front wheel bearings sound much worse when you turn to that side
    since the weight of the vehicle shifts.

    That's all I can suggest. GOOGLE it?

    Try www.tegger.com too.

    Bearing would be my first guess too.

    Also possibly a loose brake caliper or other loose brake component. Warped
    rotor is also a slim possibility, although a rotor that warped would probably
    cause much more serious braking problems and you'd be more concerned about those
    than about the thumping :)
