: this is probably something simple or common, but being the mechanical moron i am, i have no idea what is is. There is a thunking/thumping sort of sound coming from the front end... basically it seems to happen when i'm starting from a stop, or stopping from a slow, neutral coast. ie, at a red light, it turns green, i start to move, *thump*. or i'm coasting in neutral into my driveway, and apply the brakes, *thump*. someone shed some light into the dark, mysterious land of the front end... hubs? ball joints? tie rods? stop me before i continue to throw out random words and parts whose function is completely alien to me...

: thanks
