    Another noise thread

    I, too, had a strange noise coming from the front of the car. I could not hear it below 25 mph. It sounded like a rhythmic rubbing, shup, shup, shup. Rev the engine and no change in the rhythm of the noise. Increase speed and the frequency of the noise also increased. It was getting worse over the last three days.

    Turns out that I forgot to torque the lug nuts on the right front wheel the last time I had the wheels off and on. The lug nuts were getting looser.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    That's OK... I'll fess up to having a disturbing "Clunk" when moving forward after backing up for similar reasons... Good to go ahead and work the stupids out on innocuous mishaps.

    It only goes to show when people can no longer discriminate on the grounds of race, religion, or sexual orientation, they can improvise and still find someone to hate. - Dave Moulton
