Background : Got new tires about six months ago and immediately got allignment done. About 6 weeks ago I hit a hole with front right wheel. This was where the corner of the cement road slab had broken at the intersection of expansion joints. Lucky the jolt didn't shake out any dental fillings. There was no outward sign of damage to tire, wheel, or suspension. Two days after hitting the hole I had tire and allignment checked and no problem found. Over the past few weeks a noise has developed that seems to come from the front right wheel. Sounds like tire noise and the noise subsides during left turns and returns when going straight. Noise does not get worse when turning left. When lifted on jack, I can't feel any slop In wheel or suspension. No change after tire rotation and balance. No change If spare is mounted. Any Ideas ?
