Well, almost as long as I've been driving the white princess, she's been making an on again - off again strange squeaking/revolving noise. Lately its been more on than off and becoming really annoying. Today a thought crossed my mind |idea| as I was driving and trying to figure out exactly where that dang noise was coming from. I pulled off the road into a parking lot and removed all the chrome wheel rings. A test drive confirmed by suspicions. The noise was gone |cheers| Then I proceeded to replace the rings one by one. What I found was one chrome ring causing that annoying sound. Looks like its time to get some new chrome |smile|

had a simular noise on my camaro. the plastic center caps would make noise while driving slow. sounded like a horse walking. people would always tell me about the noise, till i took them off.

Hi
I had a clonking sound at low speed roll out. Stopped at higher speeds.
It was the drivers front wheel bearing cap that feel of and rattled inside the center cap.
This strange sounds can drive you nuts. |eek|
