Not another tire bulge?!?!  Doh!
 
IME, ebrake cable is the first thing to ck, then sagging heat shields  around 
driveshaft.  Can you get it to make noise with the back end of the  car up?  
Wheel bearings tend to be constant, but you could have a  dried out front or 
rear CV on the center driveshaft.
 
You buy the beer (or ammo), I'll take a look at it this weekend when I'm  out 
your way.

As you know, I recently (with the help of  Tim Hollister) got the V8 5  
speed up and running again.  She had  been sitting for over a year.  
Anyhow, I have to take the IC apart  again to see why the temp guage  
is pegged all the way to the right  with the car on or off.  But  
what's bothering me is a sound  reminiscent of the old playing cards  
in the bicycle spokes  sound.  Remember when we used to do that?  Some  
of you may  -- back in the day they had clothespins.  Anyhow, it  
sounds like  it's coming from the passenger rear.  Wheel/tire and  
brake has  been checked for interference.  Most noticeable from a   
stop.  Dry wheel bearing?  Driveshaft bearing?  Any  BTDT?

TIA
