Hey, I followed that guy up the canyon at Mt. Hammy! haha.

Yeah, sounds like it could be the tire issue, since we didnt know about that before. Or one of a million other things...

They are... :-P the goal is to reduce as much red as possible to match with the paint job. Red=bad and those look good with the color of my license plate, and my cool boost inside decal :-)... Black, blue, and white/silver.

I took her to the place where I got my tires and they said that it's probably a wheel bearing because it gets louder when you turn right and not as loud when you turn left.

Well the dealership said that it's probably a wheel bearing also, so when I get the time, probably tomorrow or the next day, I'm gonna drop her off to have it replaced. The difference is the dealership was bull****ting me and saying he was gonna "make me a deal" and only charge me $375 to replace the wheel bearing as opposed to the usual $420. I told the guy that I'll just take my car back and take it to a local place who said that they'd do it for $200... hehe I hate dealerships with a passion.

I knew it was the pho'king hub well errr bearing with out me having to see it



Better off replacing the hub, you never know what kind of crack develop on a cast piece espcially since FI makes crake parts. Better change it before the the kunkle snaps while you're on the road and pull of the LAPD into a building due to understeer
