First thing you need to do is jack up the front end of your car and spin the wheels around by hand, then grab them top and bottom and push and pull, do the same side to side, to check for wiggle and play in the steering linkage and in the wheel bearing, also make sure there isn't any run out in the tires as you spin them, with the miles you have on the car if it was used lightly it might still have the original brake pads on there, and as the pads wear down they have a spring that hits the rotor to warn you that your brakes are wearing down, this will sound like a skate board.
