USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THIS METHOD IS VERY DANGEROUS!!

I've had great success using this method to find those hard to find noises or shimy and shakes at certain speeds drivers complain of.

The most important step in this procedure is...


DON'T FORGET TO OPEN THE SHOP DOOR!!!
and to have a calm, cool, collected guy in the drivers seat in case of Holy shi#t moment...
Unless you require a torque load to reproduce the noise, this is a very inexpensive effective way to find the source of an issue.

Oh yeah, and don't be stupid and stand behind a truck while doing this, because it will throw the little stones stuck in the tires...VERY HARD! Don't be a target.
