I notice a knocking sound on the front wheel during driving.

The sound get more frequent if drive faster.
It sound similar to the noise when driving thru the yellow speed bump, the faster the more frequent.

Quite similar to this youtube i found, but mine is consistant.

The uploader also didnt get any answer.

Im sure its not the tyre, but did a balancing and alignment. Still the same.
I tried to rock the wheel, but no sound of loose part or irregular knocking sound.

Went to my regular workshop for checkup, they said it might be the clipper pin.
Changed it but still have the same sound.
They jack up the car and tried to accelerate the wheel, the sound didn't came out.
Only when driving the time notice.

The tyre shop said it might be the wheel bearing, then i wouldn't want to change it but still get the same problem.
Then they would told me a lot of chicken shit just to make me feel good about changing it eventho doesnt solve it.


Any idea guys ? my last resort would be wheel bearing, which cost a bomb...
