Re: IML: sure grip whine

[<mopar413@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is pure BS that the new one may make the same noise.  If it is set up right and all bearing are good then there is no whine..

Is it possible that it looked good but you just can't tell if it's going to make noise until you run it?  The shop also told me that a NEW one might be noisy too.
