sounds like a wheel bearing. turn 1 way noise gets louder,turn the other way noise somewhat goes away? You can have a noisy bearing without having any play in it. make sure the tires aren't chopped,/bumpy,or uneven on the inside tread.Also try hitting the brakes lightly,see if noise changes. sometimes a warped rotor will cause a thump, thump ,sound. The right wheel bearing usually goes bad first, it at the curb side, see's more puddles,bad road.But noises do travel,be open minded. If you take off the bearing,spin it slowly by hand,you will feel a bad spot if it's there. usually won't feel it on car, the mass of everything makes it spin easier.

The wifes PT had a bad left bearing.It had slop and made noise.Told her to get the bearing and Id replace it.The right had no play and you could hear the L making noise.She never got the bearing which all she had to do was tell our son as he works at a parts store.Finally about 2 weeks ago we were on the road and I thought the trans was coming out of the car.Pulled the left side and just for kicks as I thought I heard the R making noise that night.R side was still solid but when I removed the brakes it was noisy.Pulled it and it was worse inside than the loose L side.I tell her what the car needs but typical woman she waits and waits and waits.Rocky
