Left wheel issue when driving

[JJ Money]

Ok, I've had this issue since I've got the car but in the last month its gotten worse. Heres the story

Got the car Jan 2011 always have had 185-60-14 inch winter and summer tires! so Iv'e kept it OEM I just replaced my rotors and brake pads and bought 4 brand new tires. so rule all that out. when driving I hear a constant thumping noise my steering wheel doesn't shake and I have a nice front end alignment...the noise its always there, it gets really bad when I take left turns but gets quiet when I take right turns. its kinda quiet when I'm going straight but when I let off the gas pedal and slow down it gets really loud but goes away when I accelerate.

Iv'e been dealing with this for 1YR & 1/2. Its so loud now everyone inside my car hears it and it overpowers my music ha ha I need help guys! My mechanics don't know crap so I need my Aveo group!

BTW car has 80k on it I bought it at 50k. Thx!!

Is it a ticking noise, or more of the thumping that you described?

[wylee]

Right wheel bearing?

[JJ Money]

No ticking grinding just thumping

Theres no sign of a wheel bearing tires tight at 12-6 and also theres no noise coming from my bearing like squealing

[wylee]

My noisy wheel bearing had zero play and was significantly louder at lower speeds. I tried a stethoscope while spinning the wheels by hand and used a dial indicator to check for play and couldn't find the problem. I actually had to put my car on jack stands, run it in gear, and block one wheel at a time to determine which side was bad.

I did not have a thump, but wheel bearing sounds can vary.

Did you check the: control arm bushing, trans mount, strut mount, sway bar bushing?

[JJ Money]

I have not check any of those im not quite sure where they are

[petrified.rabbit]

you don't know what any of those are, yet you think your mechanics don't know crap?

are you going to be checking this yourself or sending it to a mechanic with a list?

Hey man I know what they are but not 100% sure where some are and how to determine if there shot, I'm on this site for help not Criticism I wanna check myself first then go to mechanic
and the reason why my mechanic don't know much is because they have screwed up alot of our cars so I don't trust them.
