Hello guys, I posted about the ABS system and I will try and have that taken care of tomorrow. I decided to drive around to see how the car felt, (A 1995 Civic EG Sedan EX Lowered on Tein Super Street) and I noticed a very distinguishing noise. It was the noise that seemed like a loud tire rotation. I made sure all my tires where put on straight, and tight. It seems to be coming from right side, which also the car is pulling a bit more to the right when I am not holding the steering wheel. Everything that was taken out was put back in and I really have no idea what it could be. I am posting this to see if any one has had this problem or something similar and can maybe give me some help. Thank you,

Did you get an alignment after you did the suspension work? Your toe is probably way off now and your tires are basically scraping down the road.

could also be a dragging brake, something rubbing (like the rim/tire on the spring) or a bad wheel bearing.

I have not got alignment yet. As far as I know eveything was good prior to the change. Wheel bearing etc.

Check the axle nut bolt on the side you change torque that **** down i just hanged both my wheel bearings that **** started.

I took off all the tires inspected it, and everything seemed fine. I put tires back on and made sure that they where good and straight. The noise became a lot lighter but its still there. Will a messed up axle made up make that noise? I just feel dum founded by this problem lol

How low are you? Does it go away if you raise it up a bit?

SIDreamer

Actally I raised it up 2 teeth and the noise got lower. I was preety dam low before.

My tires are 195/55/15 there actually not as big as many 55 they look like 50's. I have a bad axle in the Front passenger side which I will be changing out on Wendsday, that could also be a source to the problem.

Just for giggles try swapping your front tires and see if that changes the noise.

SIDreamer

Yea I will try that as well. While I drive i bring my head towards bottom right passenger (While I am aware of road and no drivers around) and it sounds like the noise comes from that area. That is where my really bad axle is located. I believe that it is the axle because the noise is pretty much gone except for that area where axle is located. I will also try to raise it a bit more.

You should get an alignment!

SIDreamer

I am waiting to change my axle to get an alignment. I really am convinced that the problem is the axle.

Wether it is the axle or not. You need an alignment.

Your car is pulling becasue your alignment is off.

I highly doubt a axle is going to cause your car to pull. My friend had bad axles, and his car still drove straight as an arrow.

You said you were pretty low, are you sure your tires aren't rubbing the fenders?

SIDreamer

I completely agree with you about the axle cousing it to turn right, thats deff not that issue. What I mean is the axle seems to be cousing the repetitive humming sound. My CV is done it clicks, bott is broken. I just bought a new one and will install soon. About my car going to the right , deff is alignment. As soon as I put my axle I will take it to get aligned. I will also raise is about another 1/4 inch. The noise whents drastictly down when I raised it, and re adjusted tires.
