Curb that thump

...

I OWN a 1996 Magna that has a thumping noise on the front passenger side when I reach 100km/h. I can also feel a vibration through the brake pedal. I have had the wheels balanced, but there's been no improvement. Can you help?

HAVE you hit a kerb when parking? I'd be looking for a drive shaft or joint that has been damaged. You can determine if it's the tyres by switching wheels from one side to the other. If it's the tyre on the left, the problem should move to the right.
