Hi everyone, I hope someone can give me some input. I'm getting a low level thumping sound coming from the front end. I was told that it might be my front differential. From my ears, it starts around 35 mph and quiets up at 45 mph. When I'm traveling straight I hear it and when turning left it's louder, but when turning right, it quiets up. There's no shaking of the steering wheel (though it sounds just like something out of balance) or brake pedal shudder. Does this sound indicative to the front differential or maybe a axle bearing?
Thanks...............John
