so lately i been hearing this humming sound when i am making a slight right while driving on the highway... its coming from somewhere in the front of my car... and it only happens when i turn right (and sometimes when i am going straight)... i steer to the right a little, itll make the humming sound... i steer a little to the left, and itll go away... anybody know what might be the problem? i should also include that i just got new rotors and brake pads about a month and a half ago, but only started hearing the sound these past couple of days... i searched, but my sound is different... its not that loud sound of the brake pad scraping the rotor because its low on meat... its a humming sound that seems like something is grazingly scraping something... if anybody has had this problem before, please help me out? thanks in advance

 

sounds like u need a new wheel bearings

 

check all your clearences at different points of turning the wheels for any obvious rubbing spots.
and like the person above said, check your wheel bearings

 

thanks ill check that tomorrow morning

 

man!! so i got it checked today at da mechanic... and you were right... it was da wheel bearing... but man to get it repaired costs $412!! that was da estimate i got at Pepboys... at R&S Strauss it was worse... over there it cost $599... thats parts and labor... its the labor that cost so much... the parts were only 100 and the labor was about 300... man why do i always have car problems... i baby my car to the max and dont abuse it and i still get problems

 

i have the EXACT problem on my car. My rear driver side wheel is humming LOUDER then my exhaust. I've already bought a new wheel bearing for $150, though i hear you need a shop to press it in, or buy a pressing kit which cost about $300 . I heard that you can take off the old bearing and bring it to the shop to get it press in (alot cheaper). I wonder how thats exactly done.... im planning to do the fix this weekend.
We'll see how it goes....

yeah those places rip you off; I know in jersey you can find a non-chain shop that could do it cheaper.

Check out northest-hondas.com ; there's a guy named xenocron that has his own shop, perhaps he can give you a better price. If you post on the site, there's a lot of jersey honda guys, and maybe one of them can suggest a place with better prices

as far as you teg having issues; these things happen, but take care of it, and it'll last you longer than you'll want it.
