need help!

i am hearing a thumping noise on the front right passenger side of the car near the front wheel. The noise only comes when i take my foot off of the gas pedal but as soon as i touch the gas or brake the noise stops. Does anyone have some advice to what the noise might be, if so thanks!!

Could be a number of things. I would suggest jacking the car up. With both hands try pulling in and out on the wheel see if there is any play. I would inspect all suspension components, and check all brake parts to see if there is anything loose. There are so many parts that make up your front end it could be anything. Best of luck.

yeah agreed with the one above. my best guess would be either the strut giving up or the hub giving out.
