Alright well my car is going back to the dealer for warranty work tomorrow and Im not sure what the issue is,But i wanted you guys insight because the problem is very specific. I head a lopeing kind if thump coming from what seems to be my driver side front wheel under 20 mph like "thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk" but then when you accelerate it goes away. Also it feels almost like the assembly for that wheels is "loose" if i come out of a parking lot wheels turned driving slowly slowly, almost as if the wheel assemly was held on by like a loose set of leave springs is the best way i could describe it. Like i said it goes in tomorrow and i just wanted you guys insight.

could be several things, tho.

Yeah i checked lugs seem to be fine i took the wheel off and re mounted it and its been plastidiped so i so i would see the spot where the wheel weight had fallen off if i had lost a weight.

If it feels loose, check tie rod ends or ball joints. Especially if the lug nuts are tight.

It could also be a worn out CV axle.
