Subject:Alloy wheel and drum bolt question,
From:Kevin

Hey Volks,
While high speed testing my vanagon today (LOL)  I have noticed that on a
sharp corner of about 25mph  I hear a grinding or dragging sound only during
a sharp turn abouve 25mph. brakes can not be applyed to get this sound, it
does not matter if I am giving it gas or not. Now I know with my alloy
wheels they do not allow the 2 little bolts to hold on the drum allowing a
very slight play you can feel it but not really see it. Do all alloy wheels
not allow those 2 bolts?  Could it just be my drum rubbing my backing plate?
Any other places to look?
Thanks
Kevin
