Hello.

When driving there is a thumping noise coming from the right front wheel.
I have replaced :
New tires
Rotor
Brakes
Caliper
Quick strut
Upper control arm
But there continues to be the thumping noise when driving. Any ideas?

Can you get a recording of the noise? Does the noise get faster as you speed up or does it stay consistent? At what speed does the noise start?

Can you lift the front end and drive the vehicle on jack stands and see if the noise is still there? Clearly we could have an issue with the wheel bearing or lower control arm but hearing the noise will help figure out possible causes.

Here is a guide that will help you lift the vehicle. Clearly we need both drive wheels off the ground to be able to drive it to see if you can hear it. If you can then we can try to look under the vehicle while doing this to try and pinpoint the noise. If it doesn't do it then I suspect we have a bearing issue.
