Try raising suspicious wheel and put hands at noon and 6, as well as 9 and 3 o'clock to feel for a shimmy.

Alternatively, rotate tires to see if sound moves with wheel or not.

Check the inside shoulder of your tire for feathering.

Keith that was one of the few things I looked at first the car drives straight and the tires are evenly worn.

Roger that.

Bearing would be my next guess.

Let us know what you find on the 9-3 test.

Yep, I have that noise too.

1 months later Keith, I am still waiting for the wamp wamp wamp to go away since my alignment (I'm taking pics every month to show progression of the feathering state of the inner tread). But I remember what you and Dane told me. Time will tell :)

So it's not feathering? It's a flat spot on your tire?

[kayger12]

I think he means flat on the inside edge.

In for confirmation, though.
