That's what I feel when I drive - Thump Thump Thump - I am running out of
ideas.....

It's Speed related, (feel it when slow or fast, just thumps faster) doesn't
appear to be a separated tire, front ball-joints OK.

I am getting confused - if it were a cv - would I hear it?
Something binding in the auto trannie?
Wheel Bearing?
......and I Cannot locate at which end it's coming from.

Any ideas on tests for a diagnosis? - I sure don't want to take it to the
dealer - they get aroused when they see the Westy with me.

Maybe I should take off all the wheels, and then reinstall them? - That kind
of technique works great on computers!

TIA
