I am looking for things to check on my 93 Civic HB DX...

I have had this crazy come and go as it pleases crazy loud squealing noise that i have narrowed down to coming from my passenger side wheel well.

I just recently re-lubed all the brake parts thinking it was brake related but it hasn't helped.

Not always, but it seems to start after I make a turn. If I come to a complete stop, it will stop, the noise slowing down with the momentum...but eventually will come back whenever it feels like.

I know the area where the noise is coming from, just need some ideas for what to check that might cause such a noise.

CV joints typically cause knocking sounds, right? What about ball joints, tie rods, etc?

 

bump.

 

one last bump for this stupid post.

 

Are you sure your tire isnt rubbing the wheel well? I get a crazy squealing sound when I turn, cause my 215/45/17's are way too big for the wheel well.

Pretty sure that isnt the case...I am only running 15's.

Like I said, the noise is really random. I can't reproduce it at will. It comes and goes as pleases. Once it starts, I can come to a complete stop and it will quit. Once I get going again, it's fine. Then comes back whenever it wants.

 

I just changed my brakes last week, new pads and rotors and this just started happening to me aswell. Its only when i make a left hand turn though. Bump for some help.

 

I have that same problem. I suspect that it is the tire itself. I will know when I get my tires rotated in the next few days. You should try that as well.

 

is ur rotor backing plate hitting?
