1. it technically is a domestic. 2, what size tires/rims do you have on there? if there not stock i would check out and see if anything is rubbing

i just read it again, i would check your wheel bearings possibly?

1) good point, my camaro was just a little bit better in what seems to be everything but anywho, nothing has been changed still running stock tires an rims.

i had same problem before. It's your struts. they need to be replaced.

I had a similar problem like 6 months ago. It was the sealed front hub bearing. I don't know if GS-T's are same. When I would drive my gsx over 35-40 mph it would make a strange constant noise till I moved the wheel left or had a left side load. I found out real quick to get anything like that fixed quick! Plus, the bearing was like 120 bucks, and they had to order it. So whatever it is get it fixed, its related to the front wheel so THAT front wheel won't perform as it should and could end up getting someone hurt.

It could be many things. Before you jump into any conclusions, I would get down there and take a real good look if you've not already done so.

I don't know for the life of me if there are any recalls for the 1998 DSM's, but my friend had a 1995 that had a recall on the ball joints, that made the same sounds as described above. I would check that out, it could also be your wheel bearings.

So... you want us to help disposing of the body, or what?

Oh, from the rules:
Use descriptive thread titles. If it's not descriptive, it's not worth reading.

Funny, it doesn't mention someone coming along and locking it. Hrmph.
