I removed the wheel and spun the hub, It doesnt seem to be a bad wheel bearing. Has anyone had this same problem, and a possible solution
It sounds like Mein Kamph mit der Fahren Geist. This is loosly translated as my struggle with the travel ghost. Chimes in from time to time and I have learned to share the road with the bugger as I can't sort it out. I stuffed paper towels around the gas cap and it still howls. So at this point I have come to terms and my new Charlie Chan muffler tends to drown the damn ghost out.
