Daughter has notice a roaring/thump in front passenger side. It's not real loud. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

Good evening,

Check the stabilizer link kits. they are bolts that contain bushings. they need to be checked to see if they have broken.

Some other possibilities

1. Front strut or mount.

2. Control arm bushings worn out whether upper or lower.

3. Ball joints. excessive play up and down or laterally.

4. Loose wheel.

5. Brakes. the caliper pins missing or worn.

All these need to be checked to see what is causing the noise. most shops will do a free suspension check for you.
