So today I was drivig my 98 civic around town and I heard a flapping noise in my fender. I check it out when I was home took off the wheel. Check the fender for any loose bolts everythig was tight. The noise only happens when I go past 40mph .. I can't seem to the find the problem, what do u guys think it can be cuz I'm pretty stump right now .

Check ALL of your suspension components on that side with a prybar. If there is ANY play replace that part. Get in there with your hands and inspect the steering knuckle and hub. there shouldnt be any up and down or left to right movement. Check your brake caliper and your disc, make sure the pads are in there secure. The could be as simple as your plastic fender well cover flapping in the wind or it could be a bad as a wheel bearing. It is hard to say without seeing or driving the vehicle. Best I can say is look around there better, try to recreate the conditions.

First off that I forgot to mention is that I don't have the plastic fender covers anymore. I also check all the parts in that area. But it might be just the wheel bearing? But drove it again and it does not seem like a wheel bearing or it can be ?? It's sounds like the fender is getting hit buy something ..

did you check the splash guard keepers? those pop out the sides sometimes

Just check them right now they are tight .

It obviously isn't the fender since you are saying everthing is on there tight so stop saying it is your fender. Fenders don't even have any moving parts. Like I said, get in there with a prybar and start looking for play. Wiggle **** around. That is the best advice you are going to get here with the information you gave us.

Now just barley got home and that **** is making that noise and getting louder. I really think it can be my axel now .. I know the tire rubs on my fender but thats normal already on my car .

So quit driving it around and jack it up and look at it before your wheel falls off.
