Hey all - I’m at the end of my rope chasing a thumping sound on my 2004 Sequoia. I’ve been to tire shops, mechanics, and still can’t figure out what is going on.
Symptoms: “thump” or “wub” sound from front driver side. It sounds like a flat spot or flat tire almost. I can feel it through the pedal as I drive. It is rotational, and speeds up as I speed up.
What I’ve tried/noticed/been told: First mechanic said the issue was tires so I had them rotated and the sound remained at the front driver side. While at discount tire, they said wheel bearing noise was evident, so I went to a new mechanic who drove and did various diagnostics and said it was not the wheel bearing, but could not figure out what it was.
Other observations: 4WD does not make a difference, neutral does not make a difference, it happens while applying brakes or not applying brakes. When I jack it up and spin the tire I cannot replicate them sound manually.
Somebody please help!! I’m going nuts over here.
