Noise/thumping while De-accelerating
Folks:
I just developed a strange noise. Kind of like a thumping and maybe some extra vibration, but only while coasting/de-accelerating. It seems to be coming from the front, but it is hard to know for sure. Also, it seems to be a little better if I hit the brakes. Also, it gets much worse above ~30 mph. If the power is on it is smooth and quiet up to ~60mph.
My first thought was a delaminating runflat or a CV joint, but after a cursory inspection all tires seem OK and the CV joints do not click while making a sharp slow turn.
It just started yesterday and seemed to be a little worse this morning on my way in to work.
I have a '06 JCW with only 12K miles.
Any Ideas?
