Ok before today the noise sounded like an intermitten rubbing noise. Its hard to explain. As I go faster the noise gets louder and faster. It appears to be coming from the passenger rear tire. Also during this last winter the car was very unstable in the snow and ice which is not how it has performed the last 6 years that I have owned the car. The back end of the car kept wanting to fishtail. I dont now if that is related or not.
So today I took my 2000 ZX3 in to the tire shop to have the tires rotated and balanced. It was shaking a little bit at 70mph, the noise was getting worse and I have gone about 5k on the tires since I got them. They balanced them and supposedly rotated them. After I left the noise changed from more of a rubbing noise to a bumping noise but got louder and faster as I drove faster. When I got home I checked the tread of the tires on the front and rear and the tread was much bigger on the back just like before a tire rotation. [smackbum] [hatchet] [bash]
I figured I better ask for help here before I go back to the tire place and let them screw up my car.
Thanks for any info.
