Huh, sounds like something is still off on the balance. Ever hit a curb hard or anything on that side before?

also more on the curb incident..was driving on a dirt road an hit a pot hole an now that i think of it ,it may have bottomed out on the front left an is possible the tapping/shake has been there since may have just been so small i didnt notice it till recently..my friend i should try a front end allignment says that may be the cause of the tapping sound(sounds like a flat tire) when going around corners..
