ditto David.
if it was a cracked race on a left rear inner wheel bearing.......
you'd , or I would......sure think that would show up as a change in sound
level when swerving gently from left swerve, to going straight, to right
swerve.
It almost 'has' to.  Perhaps it didn't in this case though, but if it was a
noticeable wheel bearing sound......
swerving gently at 35 mph almost has to make sound level change slightly .
The important thing is it's fixed !
Let's hope it stays that way too.
