alright so for a while now i have had a bent rim... thought the thumping sound was coming from the flat spot in the rim... i got it repaired and i still have that same thumping noise... its only really noticable at about 10-20 mph, i have checked all my other rims for flat spots with no luck finding any... any suggestions, my scanner hasnt showed anything either?
help would be much appreciated, thanks to all

Thumping noise?

usually a bent rim or bad tire results in a bounce not a noise.

generally noise at the wheels comes comes from a wheel bearing, CV joint, or brake pads rattling.

In extreme cases a bad tire can cause a noise but it usually come with a bounce like running over a small stick

 

body in the trunk, that's what mine was ..... wait ...nevermind

 

I haven't had that problem for years...

 

haha... the bodies usually stay put i stuff it so full they have no room to shift around to make noise... BUT the noise is exactly what it sounded like when i had a bent rim, i thought it would have gone away after i had the rim straightened, but now instead of feeling the bump/thump, now i just hear it... it could be the wheel bearing i suppose from having the rim bent for a month or so... had the CV axles replaced about 4-6 months ago, so i doubt it could be those plus thats more of a shake... thans for the imput though.. i might just have to take it to a shop

I had the same problem (only a loose rim) after getting the issue fixed (i was stuck on the interstate for 100 miles before I got home so dont flame me) I had a thumping noise left. I was a loose rotor and broken CV axel joint.

Good luck, cost me 300 to fix it through some mexicaaaaannnnnooooos I know lol.
