need help diagnosing front end issue. ooothumping, out of balance noise coming from left(drivers side)front. purchased new set of continental tires, the new tires solved the problem at the beginning but now have 3,000 miles on tires and the thumping noise is returning. it started out faintly and has now become progressively worse. Also immediately having new tires installed I noticed a rumbling noise that wasn't noticed with old tires. replaced the left front wheel bearing but that didn't help.
