Went on a highway road trip this weekend and now I have an odd noise and minor vibration above 50 MPH. It sounds/feels like I have a square wheel bearing and sort of makes a crisp base ball card in the bicycle spoke type sound. No vibration in the steering wheel, vibration seems to be seat of the pants. The sound actually went away on a fast right hand turn on the road. I just checked front and rear u-joints, tight. Front wheel bearings are new and torqued to spec, no play in front wheels. Newer front axles. Left rear axle/bearing and seal is new, right rear axle is tock original. I will jack up all four this weekend and see if I can duplicate the sound in the air. Wonder if you guys have any ideas?
 
If it comes through the steering wheel it is normally the front axle/steering. If it comes through the seat it is normally rear axle/body area.
