I have not driven the car in a month but around the block 2 miles. Any ideas.
Turn your volume up a bit.

Yes it does look off balance. I'll have to go look at mine and compare. Have you been able to take the water hose method that woody is famous for and centralize the noise. At least close to an area? That is quite loud and louder than normal for our noisy cars. I suggest take off the belt completely and start the car for a few seconds to see if it's in the motor, acc, or sc.
