I'm developing a thumping in the left front of the ST. It seems to increase with speed. I don't think it's brake related, as it still occurs under braking. It's there on both rough and smooth roads, so I'm thinking it's not shock related either. I thought of all the steering and suspension parts, but I have not usually related those to a thump(although I'm not sure about this)...
However, I do have 90000 miles on a set of Michelan LTX M/S tires. I know that's a lot of miles, but there is actually a lot of tread left. I checked the wheel weights, and there does not seem to be any missing. I'm thinking I have a belt starting to let go on the tire. I'm going to rotate the tires this weekend and see if there is a difference.
So my question.... What else, other that tires, would cause this type of thumping?
