not a month goes by that i don't visit Brugge hardly a week goes by that i dont visit somewhere in holland

Thank you, i knew there was a solid explanation behind that

well, off hand i've thought of the hub/bearing assembly, all things alignement related, and the diff. (although w/o proper guidance i'd be looking only for the OBVIOUS here) anything you wanna throw in for good measure?

 

slower than wheel rotation?
5 inch curb gone over directly --wheels not at an angle?
somethings bent?
suspension is not binding anywhere right?
wouldn't wheeling bearing make a louder sound while turning?

didnt go over the curb. wheels were not at an angle but i didnt approach the curb perpendicular.

no suspension binding, no obvious damage any where under there except foe alignment. even that isnt really bad, doesnt pull much at all, stable well into 140-150km/h where light vibrations develope, stable steering around town though i wouldnt push it hard as i noticed it was twichy when i was testing it out.

as i said the sound was initially only really audible in a narrow speed range and was not obviously noticable then. but as i have put a few km on it getting back and forth to work, the noise has become pronounced

 

oh--ok just slammed it. yep--probable bent wheel--hub like what was said and it will get worse.
That just sucks.

How about a set of curb-resistant tires to prevent future such problems?

 

yep, it is getting worse. but its not a huge deal, the bearing is cheap, alignment is free(assuming they get the equipment calibrated soon), and i'm gonna look into new/used hub/knuckle assembly cause i'm concerned about studs and other damage, plus my ability to swap bearing w/o damaging anything more

lol
