sounds like a bad u-joint (sharp metal to metal rusty needlebearings sound) but its not the u joints. only happens after goin about 70mph for a few miles ( i guess it gets hot). after regular 40 -50 mph driving i dont hear it. any ideas.

wheel bearing is loose and brake disc is rubbing either on the spindle, on the inside, or the knuckle. guessing. had that one happen once.

turns out that it is was a the inner wheel bearing spinning on the spindle. a little rusty in there so changing out bearings and seals.
