The gf's in the Salt Lake area this weekend, had an issue with a blown
rear tire and now the stock small spare (I know, I know upgrade to a
full size spare immediately) is reportedly making a clicking noise and
quite hot to the touch. This is about all I could determine over the
fone w her.
Unk if the parking brake is sticking (not uncommon), wheel bearing is
going south or perhaps the longer lugs are causing an issue (does the
steel spare require shorter lug bolts on a '90 200?)
In any case she's near civilization but should things get worse it might
be nice to have contact info for any SLC listers willing to help; help
could even constitute a fone call to reco a good shop if wheel bearing
replacement is req'd (I imagine lots of shops might have the tools, but
perhaps not stock the bearing)
Please contact me off-list if available for any sort of assistance, even
a phone call (provide a fone # and acceptable times to call)
