I failed to reply on your problem from fear that what I said might be
misconstrued as treating you like a child and get an off list E-Mail
telling me so. You do mean Duct tape not packing tape right? There is a
difference and all my Red Neck friends and I have many all around the
lower 48 use duct tape. Glad you found the problem.

DOH!! I should have remembered that one from experience. Had those goofy wire hubcaps on a Chebby that did that.

I would highly suggest to inspeact your tires first, tires nowadays seem to
have dead spots. I just bought four new Discount Tires and on the sides of
them you can see indentations like they were sitting on a rack since 1990.
Something else you might want to quickly check is the lug nuts. The reason
why is recently I took a car to Mike's Muffler Shop here, have given them a
lto of business since the 90s. These dumbasses didn't tighten up the lugs on
my 72 Ambassador SST wagon, and driving home (and thank God I went back
streets, not I-10 in front of store) I heard this thump thump thump. I got a
mile home and almost right in front of my house, the rear driver side tire
fell off, and under the car. I was livid and called them and they sent a
gopher to jack it up, and put it back on, my car was in the middle of the
road for about 15 minutes. I never went back either to Mikes Muffler Shop.

But both of those are two easy things yo u can check. Another would be to
take the car to a big parking lot like mall or church with no people, and go
in circles, brake, turn, accelerate, and keep ears tuned.

I have not really followed this thread so just speculating. Something else
could be a big nail, or possibly the tire has been plugged at some time in
it's life, those damned plugs will make a thump noise until they wear down.
Another thing is possibly a brake part like spring gave way.
