    Mine was the same sound and did not change when loading in or out of a turn and high or low speed.

    The wheels test jacked off the ground and spinning them revealed nothing. No sound or grit or movement. It started from 10mph and up and increased in sound. Over 45mph the sound never got louder but would swirl more in the cabin until the last month she went next level and the sound became unbearable.

    To the hand models point, bearings don't always show fault when spun without load. Mine didn't make any sounds on the driver side when the wheel was in the air, but while driving I had that woo-wooo and when cornering they would grind rhythmically.

    I hope they did the bearings after the gussets like they mentioned, that can be bad for bearings and can warp hubs if they don't do a spot weld at a time.

    No grinding just woooooing.....Red October, what a great reference. Except my boise won’t go away and stay hidden for a while.

    Unless the rear gears were setup incorrectly. But everyone here seems to agree wheel bearings.

    I'll allow it. It's not specific.
