Thanks for the suggestions, we'll be following up on these for sure. I wish we knew more about the car. We did a carfax before we bought it, and we know it was "dealer maintained," but when we went to our local dealer (completely useless and absolutely good for nothing aside from maybe fertilizing the nearby agricultural fields... Wait, um, well, no on second thought not even that.) They looked up our car by vin in their computers and after finding it and it's full service history, reported that they wouldn't tell us anything at all that had been done previously (against policy of course), but (hey big surprise here!) it was DUE FOR A SERVICE! Wow, imagine the luck! What a coincidence! We left, and might try talking to another dealer in the future but for now we can plan on doing some preventative work at our indy.

Any thoughts about wheel bearings?
