When moving at low speeds, turning and slowing to stop, I hear a rumbling
bumping noise.
I thought it could be joints in the front wheels.  I put it on a hoist but
didn't notice any play or unlikely vibration.
Any ideas?

EP,

'Rumbling' is one of the most frequent descriptions of the sound a wheel
bearing makes. They're a bit hard to diagnose, except that if you veer
slightly to the right, the left side will rumble louder, and vice-versa,
because the car's load shifts. Apparently the modern sealed ones can be
noisy for YEARS too, and not change much. I'm no expert.

Maybe you should do a group or Google search for 'wheel bearing noise'
and see what you find?
