When ever i drive over 30 miles an hour my passenger side front wheel makes a noise. i dont know why its doing it. At first it used to shake whenever i would go over 60 and i took it to tire kingdom and got it balanced and i noticed the stock rim had a small dent. they balanced it out and it doesnt shake anymore. now it makes wierd spinning noise. is this something i should be worried about? the tire is really good it has alot of tread. the tire is firestone. But what if its not the tire???or the wheel?? can it be something else? i got a 97

 

is the noise more of a grind? and is it constant? What about when you make a certain turn ie left or right. Does it go away when you do this?

Could be a bad wheel bearing if the wheel/tire has been balanced already. Check this out.

 

its not a grinding. its just the sound of the wheel spinning

 

What type of Firestone tire is it? I hope its not the 380 The tires itself will have some type of road noise, but nothing that dramatic. Some are just louder then others.

You should've had your front end checked out while you had your tires put on/balanced. That way they couldve told yah if you had a problem with your suspension right away or not

 

so i was driving my car today a listen to the noise and it sounds like a tadatadatadatadtada sound. lol but its really low. so do you think it can be the hub bearing? is it possible that is the problem? i also noticed that when i pushed the brakes very sudden with out holding the stearing wheel the would turn to the left and at a complete stop when im accelerating the car would turn to the right without holding the wheel. these arent just little turns, the car would turn drastically. is this safe to drive like this on the highway??

 

oh yeah the car turning wouldnt happen all the time

 

did u make sure u don't have a tit and your tire..

 

i dont

 

have you checked your alignment?

 

do you think that could be it? how can i tell. it looks like the tires are straight but i could be wrong

alignment cant be seen unless its real severe. look at your treads and see if they are wearing unevenly or excessively fast

 

i think it might be it cause i realize that its both tires doing it

 

I'm no mechanic, but I bet it is your wheel bearing. I too, am experiencing a humming from my front wheel or wheels when I go over 30 mph. I still hear it at highway speeds of up to 75.

I have had it aligned & wheels ballanced so I'm pretty sure mine will be the bearings. It's not my daily driver so I'll eventually will tear it apart to take a look.

Good luck and keep us posted. Philip

 

but doesnt the accord have the hub over the rotor? it isnt the same as other cars. am i right about this? does it actualy have a bearing?

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but just about every vehicle has a hub of some kind at each wheel and it spins at high speeds so it will have a bearing.

I have looked mine up on ebay and they are there for sale for my year car. Try looking it up there also and you will see what it looks like. Good luck

 

sorry mabe im wrong then
