Default Newbie Question. :Go easy plz.

My car is making sort of a "bubbling knocking" sound when im at super low speeds or coming to a stop and when taking off or turning right. Evidently comming from the left wheel area. I can feel the "thud" at the bottom of where my left foot rest and a little of it on the pedals. I only get that noise and that feel on the left side of the car. WHen im at speeds 20mph and over i dont get that noise of that vibration. I took it too a shop and they spun the wheels and they all seemed to be fine and not wobbling. They changed my brakes bcuz they were dued for change and told me that I have nothing to worry about. Im curious to know if any of you guys has ever experienced that "thudding" noise and vibration because its really annoying. I hope i made some sort of sense thanks.

The noise sounds sort of like “rumm…rumm..rumm” when you slow to near stopping?

I’m guessing your tires are cupped. That’s a common problem on performance cars. You might need an alignment; however, an alignment probably won’t eliminate the tire roar since the tire is already worn.

You said it’s mostly noticeable on the driver’s side, but I’d bet both passenger and driver side tires are worn. You hear the driver’s side because that’s where you are sitting.
