A "grrraaaaank", sometimes with fading "...ak ak ak..".
(To be distinguished from what I think of as a bearing noise
which is more "shhhhhhkkkk")
Seems to come from RF corner.

Does it when car is loaded with more than 1 person, more weight =
more often and louder.
Bumps and turns, esp. left turns increase the likelihood.

The car is being brought back from 19 years of (mostly) sitting
in a garage. Shocks are new.

Checked so far:
RF wheel bearings (new) OK.
All (old) bushings in place and flexing.
No tire abrasion that we can see on the new tires.

Any help appreciated. All car noises simulated, © 2009
