Cruising at low speeds I hear a metal-to-metal noise kinda like someone sharpening a knife with a wetstone. No change in sound when brakes applied. Seems to have appeared after driving through deep snow a couple weeks ago and my wife going through huge mud puddles at her work. She came home one day and it looked like that picture of Ray McNairy's car on the CEG website. I mean, it looked like someone used the fog light holes to scape the mud off the bottom of their shoes! Took $24 to spray the underside clean!
ANYWAY, I think it's the wheel bearing. Any thoughts?
