Since it's coming from both sides, it sounds like your front struts are shot. Push down on the front fender really hard a few times. Can you get the car to start bouncing? If so, your struts are shot. If they are good, you shouldn't be able to push it down that easily and get the car to bounce. If your car has CV shafts, check the rubber boots for tears. If they rip open, you should see grease flying out all over under the car. Once that happens, they dry out and start making noise. To test for bad ball joints, jack up the front end a few inches. Take a crow bar and stick it under one of the tires. Lift up on the crow bar. If the tire moves freely up and down, you have bad joints. Tire should be rigid and stay in place when lifting on it with the bar.

tie rods dont really make noise when they are bad. You just develop slop in the steering. Its probably worn strut mounts

I have a used 2002 Impala 3.4 . Theres a strange noise coming from my pulley and alternator area, but goes away or at least quiets when ac is on. What exactly is it, and how can I fix it? 14 answers
I also have a 3,000 mile warranty from my dealer, and I dont drive much and can't because of the law with CP licences. When I do, the sound annoys me especially next to other cars at a light.
