Just wondering if anyone has had an experience with front wheels making a thumping sound. It began while only turning at low speeds
 , and quickly eventuated to thumping at just low speeds  (Less than 40km/h). Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated

check if the wheels wobble when you jack it up. might be something loose or broken in the suspension

bearings or bushes will be the answer 99% of the time with this issue.
If its an intermittent thump there is a good chance its a bush, its if a rhythmic thump there is a good chance its a bearing.

Thanks for the help, today after work I took a look at the wheel bearings, as that was my suspicion from the beginning, I removed the outer bearing to see its condition, and turns out it was not to bad. Repacked and put it back in and set the pre-load went for a drive and its no longer. Thanks for the assistance.

Check to see if the tyre doesn't have an " Egg " in it....Tread seperation.

Ball joints too, sway bar link bushes... Also, check wheel studs are done up properly, wheels not kinked... It happens.
