It could be a bad Wheel bearing, or more dangerous a tire's cords might be coming undone! have your tires inspected and rebalanced, while jacked up check bearings for noise and or excessive play. when you spin the wheel by hand it should be dead silent. also wiggle the tire when attached to the bus, there should be no play. good luck johnny t
