When driving I'm hearing a roaring sound in the driver's side rear of my si. Could this be a wheel bearing problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

it is most likely your wheel bearing...pretty easy to do, cost about $110 for all parts needed from honda...

wheel bearing
washer
nut
cap

 

my 89 si does the exact same thing but mines on the passenger side, ive checked the bearing and still dont know, maybe the all season tireS?

 

Does it do it moreso when you back up? I am having similar problems too. From Drivers side rear wheel area.

 

sometimes its just tire noise...

but if it gets somewhat high pitched, then its a wheel bearing.

lift the corner, turn the wheel, feel for some roughness. that will tell you.

 

it's not a high pitch sound. It's definitely a roaring sound. From the insider of the car it sounds as if I have big Four Wheel Drive tires on the car but the noise is only coming from teh back. I have the same tires on all 4's and I don't hear it in the front or the passenger side rear. When I roll down the window I do hear tire noise coming from the rear driver's side though.

wow $110, never ever spend $110 on some honda oem parts. Go on ebay, i think there are alot of different bearings that fit in the rear hub of 88-91s.. i even think 92-95 bears do. CHEAP! just look around!

 

i have the same problem, but mines the left front wheel. will it be the same thing&gt;?

 

^^does it get louder when you turn a certain direction?

 

The front ones cost more i paid $60 each from napa, then i pressed them into the hub using two sockets and a vice

you get what you pay for...and oem is what i use...

 

wow i though i was the only one with the problem, mines a roaring sound too and if i turn or cruise right it stops but if im just going straight its ******* annoying. so annoying i think i may have gotten used to it

 

my 89 Si had drums in the rear and when rain/dirt/mud got in them they made a roar. but that was my winter beater.....i have a 90 Si with rrear disks.....

 

edit: 91 Si should have rear disks also...so nvm my previous post my bad

 

i had the same problem and it was so anoying that i cant even talk to people in my car while im driving and when i go faster it would get louder and quicker but if was the wheel bearings and now i can talk in my car now

that is exactly what mine was, it was the wheel bearing...worth the change trust me...

 

Mine does thesame thing when turning and accelerating, but it sounds like its coming from the interior.

 

bump cause i hate this sound

ive checked the wheel bearing seems fine maybe its just fucked up on the inside and not showing sings of normal wear and tear i duno.
