Default Need help or car might kill me

Okay, so when I am driving, It sounds like the car is going to take off like a Airplane / Jet. (sound wise) It is coming from the right front side. I am not honda savvy tech. Please be detailed and also maybe you can me if I can fix this myself, which I can have have done some decent work on cars. The car is a 95 Accord. 4dr. LX

jack the car up and spin the wheel, that should give you a better idea of where the noise is coming from, then maybe we can help you out a little more.

Bad cv joint maybe? Had the the same sound on my 6th. Not as loud as a jet, but you could definately hear it while you were driving.

could be a wheel bearing too... jack up the wheel u think is the culprit, and grab the tire at 12 o clock and 6 oclock and do a push/pull motion. if theres movement, its ur bearing.

Could be a wheel bearing. Could be as simple as a dust shield rubbing.

it really sounds like a wheel bearing, however, the sound will usuially change as you accelerate/brake/turn.
