Whenever I coast to a stop I can hear and slightly feel my front driver side wheel wobble a tad. It isn't noticable at faster speeds. You can barely hear it but it sounds like the wheel is crooked. I checked the lug nuts and they are all torqued to spec. Wheel is not bent either and the tire looks fine. Could it be the wheel bearing? How can I make sure?

 

could be an axle starting to go bad.
ive never checked a wheel bearing but ive broken my share of axles
just look at it, look for tears in the boot, grease or try and wiggle it, if it moves you might have a problem

 

Bad wheel bearings usually make noise, but not always. The noise will get louder as speed increases. Also jack up the wheels and check for any movement either in the bearing or the suspension.

 

I would also check your tire condition and inflation. A damaged tire can cause some wobble.

 

Thanks everyone.

 

when my wheel bearing went bad..
when I'd jack the car up. I could physically move the wheel/hub back and forth (like there was lateral play at the top and bottom). It would also jerk the car outward at low speeds.

 

Bad wheel bearing ownz me. At highway speeds, it sounds like tons of road noise. IT also makes my car wobble when I have to brake at 60 mph. <FONT COLOR="darkblue">HTH</FONT> Front ones are a pain to change, the rear is pretty easy.

Wouldn't it also result in cupped tires eventually?

 

I have a really fast ticking when above like 50-60mph, could this be it? I already know my bearing is shot, my wheel wobbles a bit when its on a lift, but will it possibly take care of that annoying tick?

 

I have the same problem too. It sounds like road noise at any speed. Mine is a 92 CX with ~ 120k miles.
Anyone know if DC2 Teg front wheel bearing is the same as EG CX bearing?

 

well welcom to the group. My 93 accord makes the most noise at about 50 to 70mph. It's a bitch having to listen to it on road trips.

 

a wheel bearing will make a humm and will be louder when you turn the car the opposite direction of the bad bearing (bad left bearing it should make more noise when you turn right)

now for a ticking sound that leads me to believe that it might axle or CV joint. When you rip a cv boot and it looses its grease it usually starts to tick.

In both cases you should get these things replaced.
