1998 Dodge Stratus, 2.5l, auto, a/c - at speeds above 12mph a thumping/chugging sound comes from left front of vehicle, frequency increases with speed and loudness increases while turning. Bearings are snug/ok on both sides, constant velocity joints are snug/ok. No noises on slow turns at full steering lock, neither forward nor in reverse. Noise does not appear when reversing even above 12mph. Only thing I could see wrong was a slight looseness in the drop link ball-joint, which attaches the anti-roll bar to the suspension on the opposite [right] side of the vehicle. Have not yet tried swapping the tires for known good ones. Help
