Hollow sound coming from front end

Going over imperfections in the road I hear a hollow type sound coming from the right front wheel. The noise is new, never heard it before, don't see any fluid leaking underneath the Max. After hearing the noise I have been noticing alot more torque steer and I'm not accelerating all that fast, It seems the imperfections in the road is making it worse. Could it be a blown strut maybe? I'm running Eibachs/Illuminas and the struts have about 40K on them. Thanks for the help...

The Max is still fast, I haven't lost any power.

i would check ball joints...if the joint can shift it will cause the tire to go off kilter and feel like bad alignment. If the ball is worn, it will clank over bumps
