Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hey folks...

My van has developed a strange thump thump thump thump sound that seems
to be coming out of the front wheels.  However, it only makes the noise
when I'm turning.  I can sort of feel the vibration under my foot as
well.  Also, like most wheel noises, the thumping gets faster the faster
I go.  The van has new front rotors and pads, so I don't think it's the
brakes.  Any idea what thismight be?

thanks
