    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.

    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
