Update: The noise does not change when shifted into neutral when it is happening. It also doesn't seem to change when breaking, other than it seems to make noise based on rotation so it does change as I slow or accelerate. The hill I'm able to test on it also takes going down hill for a while...

Good idea, I will try that out. And I don't know how I could have lot a bolt on a caliper but its worth checking at this point so I will double check that too. Thanks for the input everyone.

I haven't been able to replicate the noise while swerving back and forth at highway speeds. When the noise occurs when going down steep hills it is a fairly loud grinding/ rubbing sound, as I described kind of like rubbing on a dust shield. There was no noticeable noise when trying to get it...

Auto, foot on the brakes and under power. I can't say for sure if I have been using gearing to limit speed while it was happening or not.

Understood, loading is what made me think about the bearing too. It has not so far with normal highway driving but I haven't swerved much or had a lot of hard turns from speed or hard breaking that might give the same kind of loading. I will test that out.

I thought wheel bearing too but find it odd that it goes away completely in town.

I am struggling to trouble shoot a sound that has popped up a few weeks back that sounds a lot like rubbing on dust shield (metal rubbing on metal) but only while going down steep hills. The sound seems to track with wheel rotation (could be the drive shaft I guess) and varies while turning and...
