Subject:bearing/other noise when turning a tiny bit?
From:Will Taygan

Just got another stock '82 diesel Westy up and running.

I hear a whishwhishwhish noise coming from the front wheels when I turn
just a tiny bit left or right, consistent with something rubbing - any
chance this could be a bad bearing, or do I look for something else?
Sound continues through harder turns. Totally quiet when aimed straight
ahead.

I *do* have fresh Hakkapelliita CS tires on the front, but they seem to
be wearing fine...
