hey guys, i really need help.
I'm now having my first problem with my ls/vtec swap into my ef hatch. it's got over 500 miles on it now and all of the sudden i started to hear this slight thumping/ rubbing noise that increased with my speed. i got home and jacked it up and it turns out that my passenger front rotor and hub is really wobbly. I tightened the usual rotor screws(phillips ones) but it is the whole hub that seems wobbly. I don't know what i need to do, i checked all the suspension bolts and contolarm bolts and they're all tight. Is it something wrong with the joint in the axle or something, they're brand new napa axles for 90-93 integra. I just don't get what came loose that was fine the whole time before.
somebody please try to help me out!!!

 

Sounds like a wheel bearing! Does it get louder if you turn slightly to the left or right?

 

yea man...its your wheel bearings. or your outer tie rod. jack up your car and leave your wheel on, then grab the two sides of the wheel (parallel to the bottom of the car) and shake, if it wobbles, then its your wheel bearings. also grab the top and bottom of your wheel and try to shake it, if THAT wobbles then its your outer tie rod. if both wobbles...your **** outta luck...haha, j/k. try those two things out....sorry, but i don't know how to change the parts, i just know how to check em...

 

another ls/vtec guy on here. whats kinda parts you running?

 

you guys are totally right on!!! it just wobbles to the left and right when i jack it up. and when driving it gets louder when i turn to the left!!! Am i better off just getting a whole new(used) hub or can you buy the wheel bearing and put it in fairly easy??? thanks a ton guys.



I'm running all stock parts as of right now, just a b18a block, b16 head, y1 tranny. i'm loving it despite no vtec yet.

 

Just get the bearing. It is about $40 form majestic honda. Take it to a shop and have them press the old one out and put the new one in.
