Hello--
My malibu has a loud thuddering noise when i get on the highway or reach 65mph. I was told I need a new tie rod ($400 job) but upon a 2nd inspection they said i just need a balance. After getting the balance I still get this noise and I dont want to take it to a shop unless im absolutely sure whats wrong with it. It sounds as if something in my wheel area driver side front and back, is knocking like a sonstant drum roll. If any can give me any kind of adive it would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

sounds like a wheel bearing or tie rod end. jack it up and check for play to confirm

Also in addition to Nick's advise if you can tell if the noise is coming from the frt or back, rotate the tires to see if the noise moves....
