well, you were right....i took off my wheel, and looked around, and no visible damage (thank god),but when i rotated it, with wheel on and off, it was very obvious that the bearings were bad...you can hear them hahahahah, anywho, thanks for the help...right now, im pulling up the repair books to go on and get on it.........hopefully they just need some greasing up, and not replacement.....anywho thanks again.....peace
