Help Please! Weird Knocking Sound right wheel??

[Chicora]

I am not a gearhead like many in this forum and could use your help.

Has anybody experienced a thumping sound in their right front wheel or something similar?

Took my truck in for oil change, tire rotation, and the fire hazard recall. Picked it up and noticed a bumping sound that increases/ decreases based on speed (starts around 4-5mph). It does not do it in reverse or when "coasting" down hill. Started off where you could barely hear it and 5 miles later it was much more noticeable.

My plan is to get it towed back to the dealer and then let them tell me what happened and let them fix it.

Any suggestions?

Just had the same service today but no issues. I would check that the lug nuts are tight. Yeah, let the dealer fix it under warranty.

I've said it before and I will say it again. You tire sensor broke off and it bouncing inside the wheel

How does this explain it if the sound doesn't occur when they coast?
