Yea more info needed

I assume if the car drives you got the right hubs so I would say the problem is a bad wheel bearing or draging brake caliper.

 

[QUOTE=Lost_in_a_world_so_cold]Its all in my signature..... 89 CRX b16a1... hubs dont know...... stock i guess its just a grind, grind every rotation....... sublte not loud its probably CV.

 

did you remove the dust rings from axle and back of hub?

 

it could be something as simple as your wheel hitting your caliper, have you changed wheels recently? But a wheel bearing sounds like it may be it. Do you have any access to a hoist to get that thing in the air, if so, have somebody drive it in the air and hold a prybar against the hub and put the handle on your ear, it sounds crazy but you will be able to hear if the wheel bearing is grinding(like a stethoscope), that or play which would be the first thing noticed

 

Those bearings are a bitch, especially old as the legendary crx/civic's are.

 

No, I'm screwed i have no place to work or a way to get my car in the air. I'm just not driving it now. No money. $3,000 in debt for the motor and to get it legal then all this happens. hating life soooo much. Need to get sponsored. or get a job working on cars that would be swell....can anyone help me with that? how does a guy that would give his left ******** to get paid to work on cars, have no idea how to get in? I'm perfect for a shop i suck up knowledge like a sponge. i dunno any suggestions on how to get an apprenticeship or something?

 

Go to auto-zone, get a wheel baring for $50.00 take the hub assumable to a brake shop and have them press it out and press the new one in. Most of the time they will just do it on the side and you pay them. That is what i did.

 

do you think it is wheel bearing? or cv?

 

well if it the CV then you will here clicking, if it's the bearing you will get a slight metal rubbing sound.

 

Thats what every smartass says "go to school" what school? thats what i need to know cant anyone read?.... i dont think i'm the **** or something i'm trying to get information to fix my car.... why do all the smart people talk crap to all the litlle people. I love cars and you love cars so why cant we get along? Thank you so much for your time

thats a terrible way to start a thread post just a little knowledge for you to soak up.
For job wise go to school so you have some paperwork backing up your experience.

And for the car axles are about 75 bucks new with a core. Fairly easy to replace if all the bolts want to come out.

Ummm, what is wrong with what he said? And why would he need school?

 

where exactly is the grinding sound coming from???

i have learned most everything that i know about mechainc work on the side of the road or in my driveway...and at honda-tech. maybe try getting a job a the local Honda or Acura dealer...start at the parts counter...just an idea. there are many NICE and knowlegeable members of this forum.

i always say: you learn by doing the work

edit: suggestion: buy a haynes or helm manual for your car; place the book on the toilet tank; read while sitting--i have picked up alot of info that way

I started at a shop as a porter while going to school at night and moved my way up. Check up on colleges with programs through the car companys, some will train you for a specific brand and sometimes a dealer will pay for some of your school. But yeah a machine shop or brake shop will press out and in the new bearing for you(like someone said already), pretty much anywhere with a hydrolic press

 

Do it in your drive way you dont need to put it in the air.... working on cars isnt always comfertable lol bearings are not that hars. itd probally be like 20 bucks to have a shop press them in. or just find a frind with a press and press it... maybe a big c clamp would work.. theres many ways to do it. granted there not all the right way. but to make it work.

 

I just found a buddy that will help me do all my work. He is throwing the 1.8L i-vtec from rsx Into a 94 civic hb......... Thank god!!!!!!!!!! I have access to a whole shop now.... to bad i can't scream with joy on myspace.

 

Thanx I will definetley do that. I was thinking about going into SCROC, but i just finally got a job at best buy and cant make other plans yet. I also am going to apply in the parts dept. at HONDA.
