Hah!.....I will answer my own neurotic and wordy post.
I was working on it today and I was spinning it around in a parking lot trying to make the noise happen.
I got to a point where it did reliably and then I stopped and got out of the car.
The front edge of the left front tire was touching the edge of the fender! The damn tire was rubbing! Fender is not visibly bent or moved, but who knows.
The thing is, this is the newest, nicest vehicle Ive purchased in a LONG time. My little nissan minivan was a free hand me down from my sister's friend. My big van cost $500. I was SO nervous about laying out the money (we paid cash) for this one and I was REALLY upset about all the things I thought were wrong with it. Man I was smiling when I saw the tire touching the fender!!!!!!!!!
