I've been running country-road shake-down drives on my Bugeye to get the
remaining 9-year-storage-related bugs out (had a float stick last night--
went through 1/4 tank of gas while looking for a place to pull off!).

Anyway, I notice that there is a lot more "road noise" (a deep rumbling)
when making sweeping left turns on a winding highway road. The noise is
still there at a very reduced volume when going straight, and pretty much
goes away when making sweeping right turns. It doesn't really sound like a
bearing to me, but then I don't think I've ever heard a wheel bearing going
bad before, so I couldn't say for sure.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
