Okay I am having wheel Thumping/thuding on what looks like my Front Right (Passenger front Wheel) which is kinda of hard to explain. Its as if the wheel has a flat spot every time it rotates around that sounds like a thud. This especially is pronounced when I start the car in the morning when I am driving slow. It somewhat goes away at higher speeds I feel later but I still feel is when I slow down. I am sure its there at higher speed but its lost in the tire noise with the speed.
Last month or so I did have my C clip slip out so the axle slipped out of place so I could only drive it the central diff locked. I fixed that by replacing the axle since I have a non OEM lifetime warrantied axle. The hub flanges looked were very slightly scared so I did'nt change them. Since then I am getting a more shaking from the front passenger wheel when I am driving at Highway speeds 60+. Which is obviously unnerving.
I am thinking of replacing the Bearings since this same wheel is shaking a wee bit when testing the wheel at 6 and 12 'O clock. But I do not hear any bearing noise when I rotate the wheel or when I drive the car so not sure if its the bearings.. But I have never greased them at the normal 30-40k service interval. So it would be a good time to grease them.
The closest way to explain what is happening at slow speed is this in this video here
I did have the normal Thud that was bad putting the car in Reverse/Forward. I greased the driveshafts - all the zerg fittings and that Thud has been reduced a lot which I am happy about.
