[DML] Re: Bad bearing or...?

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dani - Could be a bearing going bad, or getting loose due to wear.  
Look carefully at your brake rotors to see if you are getting some 
contact between a brake caliper and a rotor.  Jack up the car and 
spin each wheel, listening for any noise coming from the bearings, 
or any feel of roughness or grinding.  Shake each wheel to see if 
there is any play at all.  You can't really tell much when the car 
is on the ground.  Let the List know what you've found.
