- No, that went RRRRRRRRRRRR, and it didn't matter if I was turning (in fact I
- only heard it when I was going at a speed that I wouldn't be going at during
- a sharp turn), and went away completely when I tightened the lug nuts.

- BTW, about 10% of the civilized world has now kindly told me it's probably my
- CV joints, so the rest of you don't have to.
