rear wheel noise - 5/1/2008 7:38:05 PM    sicuro   Posts: 28 Joined: 4/4/2008 Status: offline my civic makes noise at the rear right wheel when braking, and taking sharp left turns. it sometimes does it and sometimes doesnt. then when it got louder, we took off the tire and cleaned the drum to see if that helps, and it did.. doesnt make any more noise when braking. but when we take sharp left turns there sometimes is still a little noise (but not as loud as before) does anyone know whats up with it?

Brakes? and WHAT KIND OF NOISE??? Squeaking? Creaking? Grinding? What??? _____________________________ JP 2001 Civic EX Coupe MT "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side” (in reply to sicuro) Post #: 2

RE: rear wheel noise - 5/2/2008 12:30:56 PM    sicuro   Posts: 28 Joined: 4/4/2008 Status: offline ok sry heres more info :) 2004 Honda civic sedan with ~114k km on it. everything stock its more like a grinding noise but not too loud but you can hear it clearly, its not a constant grind, it sounds like one part of it is messed up and as the wheel spins it keeps grinding on that part which makes the noise also, couple months ago we took our car to canadian tire to get the all season tires changed to winter, and we got into an argument with the guy changing our wheels (long story, but it has nothing to do with the issue right now so ill go on) and then he decided to **** up our bolts and bearing with the air gun. later when we took it back to Honda they told us the rear bearing was broken and needed to be replaced. so we payed $400 and i suppose we should have a new one ^ if that helps < Message edited by sicuro -- 5/2/2008 12:38:37 PM > (in reply to mk378) Post #: 5
