What would cause a thumping sound that speeds up and slows down with the speed of the car?
Sounds like it may be a rear tire with a hard spot or a patch of tread missing. You said nothing if the steering wheel was shaking so if I may, I suggest you move the rear tires to the front and see what happens, if it is the tires you should feel something on the steering wheel.

What would cause your steering wheel to shake at 45mph?
Sounds like either your tires need some serious balancing, or the weights on your tires have fallen off. If you go to a car there are these little 1 inch metal brackets attached to the tires. Yah they balance your tires on the road. If not you could also check your alignment. Well those are the things my dad has taught me and when he fixed those things. My car drove fine. Hope I could help.
The steering wheel is shaking on a 2001 Daewoo Leganza?
Well a shaky steering wheel might be because of the weights on your tires are either missing or one of the weights is the wrong one (there are small weights attached to the rims of each tire, they vary in weight depending on what is needed to balance the tire). Another possible reason could be your engine is running very rough and the holdings aren't enough to make it stable or they may be loose.
Why do your front tires thump when driving?
Check for missing wheel weights or possibly bad shocks. Can also be a defect in the tire itself. As in, a broken or seperated belt in the ply. Can also be a tire with a flat spot on it. Have this looked into by a professional tire shop as it could be dangerous.

Unless the weights fell off, only when you disturb the tire from the rim.
