OK so I think my hub is bad on my driver side. When I drive it and normally at atleast 30mph it starts making a thump, thump, thump. But if I go faster it is thumps faster. Liek Thunmp, thump, thump. I was thinking its that HUB and one know how to tell if its that. Whats a good place to get one?

Check everything else first. Make sure your tire is good. Bad wheel bearings make a constant grinding sound, and even smoke when they go really bad.

+1 all the bad wheel bearings I've had experience with make more of a humming than a thump. Usually a hum that gets louder as the speed increases, and also will get louder/quieter when you turn the car depending which side is worn.
