Default Thumping noise while driving.

Im getting a thumping noise when driving. It coming from the front. I think it maybe a axle U joint but Sometimes when I hit the brakes hard it goes away. What you guys think?

Ill do that once the snow goes away.
I think its either something loose, or my rotors are shot now. It sat for 2yrs. But all the suspension is new. When I hit brakes it goes away.

Anyone else?
