On that subject, I have a noise in the front only when I take a right hand turn. Its been there for 1.5 years. Then I got a nasty grinding noise. Well, I changed the front left wheel bearing hub assembly. That got rid of the nasty grinding noise. There was about 1/4 inch of wobble in that old one. I still have that other noise though. Would that be the dust shield rubbing on the rotor when I turn the wheel? If you guys say yah maybe, those things are coming off. Thanks in advance.

i'd keep them, i made the mistake by warping mine when i had the rear axle off, most aggravating sound ever,and it still makes noise from time to time, i had to use a BA flathead screwdriver and pry it off the rotor, and i had to drive it and adjust it about 5 times before before the screeching stopped, but now i think i have a bad bearing so its time to mess with it again, i'll probably swap gears this time

Got off my lazy ars and took the wheel off today. Sure as sh!@# the dust cover looks like it got dinged on the underside and was just barely rubbing the rust off the top of my rotor. Bent her back out, problem solved. It only took a few months.

Piece of mind is what I got now. Tomorrow I go get the exhaust done. Not racing mx anymore so I need to spend some money doing something. I even got one those useless billet gas doors today. I guess its not that useless, it locks. In this economy people are starting to syphon fuel again and a 25 gallon tank is a jackpot for most of these jackwagons.
