Default thumping noise in left turns
when i turn left at low speeds there is a thumping noise that seems to come from around the wheel. you hear it and you can feel it in the steering wheel. I have a 2003 ssei with around 46,000 miles. any help?

I'm with him. It is a very common problem with the 00+ bonne'*, grand prix'*, monte carlos. Most of us, if not just about all of us have had this problem.

It'* probably the start of the problem. When mine started it was barely noticeable, then as time went on, it got worse.
