Hey,
If anyone has ever read one of my question threads, they typically see me asking about a rattle like sound I hear from my front passenger tire. Doesn't matter what the original question is, I usually add this one in for hoping.
Well - I've something to add to the problem, that I hope (Please) might give someone an idea of what I should check.
The sound is a rattle of some sort, only coming from the specified tire. I hear it when ever I hit bumps - though no always, and sometimes even the smallest of bumps triggers it. When I got home from school today (about 5 minutes ago...) I took a look at the tire (In the dark...) hoping to see if maybe one of those balance weights were loose - basically, I was just getting even more desperate.
So what do I do as a last resort? I kick the tire. Wow. I heard the weirdest noise. Some type of vibration like noise. So I kick it again - the back part of the tire. There it is again - I kick the front part of the tire - still there, but barely... No other tire, when properly stimulated with ones foot, produces this noise.
Anyone have a thought? It's a mechanical like noise - a vibration like sound that lasts a second. I've had my RA bushings replaced hoping it would cure the sound... No Luck.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chad S. Thain
