I took my car out for a drive today and as I approach 20+ mph the front passenger side near had a loud rubbing noise. I then pulled over to see if the tire were rubbing but i have about a 1/2 inch wheel gap. As i went faster the noise would keep going and be periodic. Anyone know what it could be? I'm thiniking its the wheel bearing.

 

are you sure your splash gaurds have all the clips and aren't blowing back from the wind?

 

LOL how would you know that my hatch has splash guards? My splash guards are new anyways straight from Honda with all the materials needed. And i know its not that.

By periodic do you mean it makes the noise roughly once every tire rotation and rises in pitch the faster you go? If so, it's probably not a wheel bearing. Wheel bearings sound like a grinding all the time and it doesn't change in pitch or seem periodic at all.

And if it only happens above 20mph, then that's more evidence against the defendent .

Check for debris under and around your car, wheels and brakes included, and make sure there aren't pebbles or anything jammed in your brake dust shields.

 

no the noise keeps going as if its going wub-wub-wub-wub noise

 

Wheel bearing maybe???

 

the noise is not once every rotation it just keeps making that noise over and over. As i come to a stop it stops.

 

So i took it out to drive it again and its a really loud grinding noise and gets worse when i turn..

 

Make sure your brake lines are following the correct path and not grinding against your rim.

 

Will do.. i tried grabbing the tire at 11 and 5 o clock but the wheel didnt budge a bit..

Either a wheel bearing or an axle. Does it thump or clunk when you turn or hit bumps?

 

clunk but im sure its not the axles... they are new from drive shaft shop

 

took it out to meineke to get my muffler welded and asked them to check my wheel bearing. The guy said he couldnt see anything wrong with it but i dont even think he checked

not too sure and correct me if im wrong but how could he SEE anything wrong with it without taking the assembly apart? i vote for he didnt check it

 

yeah its ur bearing

 

Lol thats why i said he probaly didnt check it cause his fatass got tired of welding

 

How much does it usually cost for a bearing/labor? I can take it out just cabt get the bearing pushed out.

 

up

 

bump bc mine is doing the same thing

 

you have to take the whole knuckel off. Bearings are usually $25-50 plus whatever the shop charges you to press it on(cost me another $20 per side)
