Ford E350 hubcap replacement
Lost a hubcap-would like to replace with a cover that fits flush to the existing rim but shinny. That way the tire valves can always be present for checking, Do they make some sort of cover that would...

First the whistle. So annoying I stopped at a Wally World on the way home the first day and bought some weather strip material. Put that on but that didn't help. Only did the top half of the door and on the frame of the door way where the screen door would come in against it. Next stop I took it off and put it on the door itself, that didn't help. Emailed the seller after I got home and he said it did that from the day it was new. The dealer tried to fix it but failed, so they lived with it. I note the rain deflector over the door has been shaved down on the corners. The PO thought it might be the awning. I'll do some more cut and pasting with masking tape on the out side to see if I can isolate the source, than attack it.
Shocks--I'm going to go ahead and replace them. Had some vibration--in fact lost a hub cap first day, at 65mph and above. Owner said he lost a hub cap or two but I got the impression he never drove it over about 60, in his later years, since he towed a small car. Could be a combination of weak shocks and tire out of balance- the combination of the two would let it shake some. Not sure if I need to spend big bucks for shocks since it already drive great. While I have the wheels off for balance will probably go with some brand of shock. Have at least 5000 miles of travel planned in the next 10 months. The hub caps are camping world specials but I like the simulators--not sure if I will part with the dollar for them. Thanks for the advice.
