Just tonight, on my '96 Olds LS I noticed a thumping sound coming from the front left that changes with the speed. I'm thinking it'* the inboard cv joint gone bad. What exactly are the symptoms? It'* got 128,000 on it, so I suppose it'* time for something to fail.

I'm starting to think it could be the front left wheel bearing. But two other cars in the past I've owned had more of a rumble when theirs went bad... this is a thump thump thump, it sounds hard, not like a bad tire that'* broken a belt.
