Odd tire rubbing sound..
So I just got back from vacation, drove from NJ -> WA and back again, spending a week in north ID. First let me just jump and dance about what a great machine this thing is..
Got home and the foglight kit from BAV was here, so I put those in, and it gets new oil again tomorrow. While it's out getting the oil (and possibly brake pads) I am going to have them look at the subject of this post as well, so possible causes..? -- The Problem -- Sometimes, not all the time, I hear a noise which sounds very much like a tire rubbing against something when I'm driving. It's not always there, but when it IS there, it only happens when I'm going straight and/or turning to the right -- in other words, when I'm hearing it, if I turn left, it goes completely away. Once I straighten out from the left turn, it's back. There is an associated vibration I can feel through the accellerator. I checked for rubbing myself and couldn't find any, so my first guess would be a wheel bearing going bad.. any other things come to mind? |

Wheel bearings is my guess as well.
