    check your sway bar endlinks, or the dust shield on the strut

    jack up the car and have a look at everything and watch for any loose or worn out parts

        fix the endlinks and see if the sound goes away. Bad endlinks will also *usually* make a slight click when you first accelerate from a stop. But I think thats as they get pretty bad.

        Edit: you can usually get regular ones or nice ones from autozone for not much moolah.

            with the car on the ground, grab 12 o clock on the inside of the tire and tug back and forth, listen and feel the upper balljoint. There should be no movement or sound, also check the boot for rips or leaks,etc.

            With the car on jackstands, and the wheels hanging freely, lift the wheel upwards, there should be no slack between the hub assembly and lower ball joint.
