I have an experience to relate about this.  I had a "thumping" in my left
front, but it would occur mostly in a left turn, and sometimes
straight-ahead.  I replaced both front shocks and the steering damper.  Didn't
fix the prob.  When my calipers froze up and I pulled them off to rebuild
them, I found that the 2 bolts/nuts that hold the steering arm to the "wheel"
assy. were rolling around inside the disc hub.  I have my new discs (thanks
Jim A.) and should have it back on the road this weekend.  I'll let the list
know if that fixes my front-end prob.
