Subject: front wheel spin
   Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1993 13:23:04 -0400

I was rotating the tires on my '90 Miata yesterday and I noticed
something odd about the front wheel spin.  I had the front wheel
jacked off the ground in order to remove it and I happened to 
idly spin it and it seemed like it had a lot of resistance on the
wheel and did not spin as far as I would have expected.  I gave
it a fairly hard spin and it did not turn through more than two
full rotations before coming to a stop.  I could hear what sounded
like metal on metal friction while the wheel turned.  Does anyone
have any comments about this?  I keep thinking the wheel should
spin freely a lot more than that.

Of course I don't speak for my company.  If I did that
they'd have to pay me a lot more money.
