Wheel bearing or what?
I am hearing a whomp whomp sound at low speeds especially on decel. Turning left to right does not change the tone very much. It is more pronounced when turning to the right though. It sounds like the front right wheel. The faster I go the less I hear the noise. There is no vibration in the steering wheel and when I shake the wheel itself, it does not have any play really. The tires have NO CUPPING as well. Dealer said they would inspect it for free but my main man is out until the 21st. He will hook me up so I might wait for him. Any body have any ideas. It has gotten worse over the past 2 weeks.

Something easy to try (and just to eliminate it) while you're waiting for your friend to come back would be to swap the tires front to back and see if the noise follows them. I agree with others the though, from the description it sounds like a bearing. I just don't know whether or not it's the wheel bearing or in the front drive-train. If it was a rotor, I think you'd have some pulsing in the brake pedal and/or feel some slight variations in braking feel.

I am running goodyear assurance tires. They have15-20k on em and are rotated regularly.
The car has 84000 miles on it.
I tried the shake test and the wheel is sturdy.
I might get the hub assembly and do the replacement with my buddy. Dealer wants 270 but I can get it at checker auto for 171. That is the supposedly the high quality bearing. Does anybody have any DIY info on this. I did search all over but I couldn't find my exact year and model info.

Here's the wheel bearing DIY . . . listed under wheel bearing DIY (who'd of thought to look for that
) :

Anyway, what if it's a CV joint or axle bearing, or (inexplicably) a tire? I think I'd want to verify the problem better before I started shotgunning big parts.
