When ever I am rolling,
the wheels make this sound; whoom whoom whoom whoom.
WTF?! People have told me to rotate tires, check the brakes, etc.
Could it be axles, un-balanced wheels, streering rack, a bearing,
what? It's driving me nuts knowing my car is'nt 100% healthy.
Please shoot me some advice. I know someone's delt with this before.

Car is '93 si hatch/95 US GSR heart.

All help/advice is much appreciated.
Thanks for looking!

 

might just be loud tires? or maybe a wheel bearing? not sure what whoom whoom whoom is

 

Tires are damn near brand new.
When i'm rolling down the street, whoom whoom whoom is what you hear
coming from the front suspension area.

 

that happend to my booy it was hit camber was so bad so long it messed up his bearrings.

 

did it start making the noise right when you put the tires on?

 

It's been making this noise for a while.
It's just been getting progressively worse.
I've tried different wheels, no improvements.

wheel bearings?

 

i think its the wheel bearing.. its doing that to me to..

 

Is it costly to repair?

 

I place my bet on wheel bearings. New they are about $140. I got some used ones ones off ebay for $40 (with cap and hub).

Yes.

 

do the wheel bearings need to be hydraulicly pressed in and out?

 

yeah, its definitely your wheel bearings...i have the same problem on my supra right now, mine are pressed in, im not sure how the civic ones are since ive never had a problem yet

Ya

Probably need a new hub too. Should come in under $200 for everything.

If you want to make sure it's the wheel bearing, jack up the car and try to wobble the wheel.

 

Wheel bearing, about 70 a side, or you could just source a new hub assembly. I got another hub fro 40 from a junk yard as opposed to 70 for the bearing and another 20 to get it pressed in and out.

 

wheel bearings

go ahead and do them all

 

Thanks too all who responded. Your help is greatly appreciated.
When I turn either direction, the steering wheel shakes a bit and
the noise gets louder.
Gotta get back to watching season two of Lost on dvd.

I never would have guessed you listen to ICP, what a joke. Speak english.

OP, like stated, most likely your bearings.

 

wheel bearings. Grab a front wheel, and shake it back and forth, to and from you. If you feel play like something's loose, its your wheel bearing. Like someone else said, do all 4. cause once one goes bad, the others follow.

 

Does anyone know a good machine shop to go to in
the nor-cal/east bay area?

 

i had a similer sound... it was the brake lines. it was like a.. clank clank. something like that.

 

I had this same problem shortly after I swapped motor.. forgot to tighten the axel nuts :-x.. wouldnt hurt to check them

Hope this helps in some way shape or form
