Hello, took Rocinante on a 1900 mile, 2 week trip to the Pac. NW. Didn't have any problems per se, she went like a champ, but a worrisome sound has presented itself. When accelerating, there's this bizarre flapping, metallic plink sound a bit like a playing card on a bicycle wheel, coming from somewhere under the car. It isn't engine knock, it's different from that. Sometimes it's accompanied by a slight vibration, which goes higher and lower in tone depending on my speed. Often it seems to clear up on its own as I get on the freeway and go along at 60 plus mph for a few hours.
I'm wondering, wheel bearing, or differential bearing? Or-- what?
If anyone has any insight, or comment, many thanks...
