01 corolla front end noise

[alanhansen5]

Greetings all. I have an 01 corolla, I have replaced the CV joints and the lower ball joints and had the wheel bearings replaced.. I noticed a constant thump thump in low speeds that goes away at high speeds. When I put it up on jack stands and put it in gear and let out the clutch it sounds like it is in the engine (possibly) ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! This car has over 200k and I just replaced the rear struts also

Do you hear the noise when revving the engine in neutral? If not, you can probably rule the engine out.

If you jack up the front on jack stands, you can drive the wheels in the air without putting force on the ground to see if it's wheel related. If you hear grinding, it could be something wrong with the bearings. Also I've had bad tires that were out of round which would make noise at low speeds but were quiet at high speeds.

Thanks for your reply. Upon putting it back on the jack stands we found that 2 wheel studs had become loose. after replacing them and making sure the nuts were torqued properly the noise was gone... Glad it was an inexpensive fix this time
