I have a 2002 mazda millenia with 83,000 miles. 2 days ago without warning I started getting a repeated “thump” on left hand turns and at lower speeds(25 mph) when driving straight. No problems on a right hand turn.  
  
 The noise is clearly coming from the front left tire area.  
  
 The tires are nearly new.  
  
  
  
 Any idea what the problem might be?  
  
  
  
 Thanks.
