Default Need opinions/suggestions please!!

We finally got around to installing the adjustable panhard bar and the relocation brackets after we lowered the car quite some time ago.

Before we installed the PHB and brackets, we would get a little tire noise like a flat spot on the tires. Now, we get a LOT of tore noise like a flat spot!!! We pulled the back tires and the right rear tire in pretty worn on the inside shoulder of the tire. So, we took the tires off of Dave's SS and put them on the rear of my car to see if the noise was just in my tires. NOPE! Got the noise with his tires also. We took off the brakes and rotors and they looked fine.

So....what else could possibly be causing the noise??? It goes in for a thrust alignment on Tuesday and I'm hoping that will cure the noise? or will it??

Any suggestions/answers????? It's driving us nuts!

Thanks!

Bad wheel bearing? Or, I've heard of some cars wearing through the hardened outer layer on the axles. If that is the case, it could "thump" when it hits the soft (worn) spot.

Those are my first thoughts.
