I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden the truck sounded like it had a flat tire and as if I was driving on the rim. I pulled over and all the tires were fine. I started driving again and the noise was gone. A couple of days now, my husband says that the tire feels lose when going at normal 60/km, my mechanic had checked the ball joints about 2 weeks ago and said that they were fine.

First, make sure the wheels are tight. Next, do you still hear the noise? If so, does it change when you make turns?
