When i drove home from vermont on saturday there was a decient section that dropped becuase they were paving a section of highway and now when ever i turn left i hear a thumping noise it increases as the speed does and im clueless to what it is. It doesnt sound good so i am hesitant to drive my car but i have to get to work and such so is it very bad to keep driving my car?

EDIT: Just drove to the supermarket and it sounds like a fluttering thumping noise that is speed dependent on how fast it flutters and thumps

Thank you for the responses and your time

 

Anyone with any thoughts i want to know if its ok to drive to work which is about a 40 min drive from my house

 

Get under your car and check to see if your front cv boots are torn, when the joints get dry they can make that noise.

 

the boots seem to be fine is it ok to drive to my work tomarrow?

 

If its getting louder the faster you go its probably either the cv axle or wheel bearing, so if your only driving a few miles you'll be ok, just try to limit how far you drive because the farther you go the more friction its exposed to the hotter it gets.

 

Sure...I dont think anyone has ever died driving their car to work when itsmaking a thumping noise when turning left. Does it do this at all speeds or mainly speeds bellow 20mph when making tight turns?

 

it makes the noise when turing left at all speeds above 5mph and it gets louder as i turn harder..also i have to drive 30 miles to work soo i would be driving 60 miles a day

 

I would park it then, probably gonna end up stranded.

 

Damn thats bad news..thanks for your help guys

 

Can you just hear it or can you feel it too?
