Zago-
Thanks for the feedback, I figured it could be felt...Guess not always..

I jacked it up and spun the tires. No noise. Passenger side turns a little easier than the driver's side. The more I hear it when I'm driving leads me to think the bearings are going out. I'll have to wait till I get some time from work to bring it in to the dealer. 5year/100k mile powertrain warranty, I hope this covers it.

Disc brake wear sensors near the edge of the front rotors "chirp" when the pads are nearly worn out. How the CV joints made out after the 5 foot "fall" is anyone's guess.

Just got my '08 back from the dealer yesterday. Driver's side hub bearing was bad and replaced. I wish they would have replaced both sides, but I guess a return trip is in the future.
