Really wierd Knocking noise, can you help me??
ok for a while now I have had this wierd problem..Lets say im on the highway...all of a sudden out of the blue, my car will make a knocking noise or as iff my wheel is shaking...its so strong, I can feel in in my steering wheel and then it goes away REAL QUICK and you wont hear the noise again for a while...sometimes I hear the knock when im making a turn, so i thought it maybe my axel.....someone told me it could be a loose bearing on the wheel well....what do you guys think!!!

My suggestion would be to have an alignment done at any local honda dealership and Mr Tire.
Usually when they do an alignment they will offer a free suspension/safety inspection.
My best guess, especially if you hear a knocking noise around a corner it would be an axle. Check and see if your CV boot is ripped. If the boot is ripped u might be able to see the grease all over the fire wall, when u pop the hood.
But come to think of it, the problem could be a number of things such as...
Wheel bearing
Upper and lower ball joints
or even poor alignment
Who Knows anyways Good luck and hope u get it fixed

when bearings usually go out they make more of a humming noise. he doesn't have to have a broken axle boot to have broken cv joints. if it was his cv joints, he would hear more like a clicking when turning or sometimes when braking. it also can ball joints, just my opinion.
op, your best bet is take it for an alignment, (a good shop, the dealer is going to rape you) they should be able to see during the alignment.
