    Abstract: To eliminate interference with radio reception, static electricity generated by a vehicle tire during operation can be dissipated by the retrofit attachment of one end of a spring wire to the wheel hub with insertion of the other end through a vent opening in the wheel bearing cap to contact the end face of the wheel mounting spindle to provide a conductive path to the vehicle frame without dismantling of the bearing seal.
