I have a wheel bearing roaring is there any way to grease it or does it have to be replaced..99 prelude

 

They should be greased, but chances are by now its shot. Do you hear the roaring all the time?

If its all the time than I'd replace it asap.

If its just on heavy cornering you could try greasing it but after you get that far (amount of work just to grease it) you may as well replace it. So bottom line is you may as well replace it.

 

Yea i hear in the rear when i get up too speed it's on the back passanger side and when i turn hard to the right it goes away while turing.

 

If it's roaring it's bad. It's about $150 to replace but it's a quick job, about an hour if you're not in a hurry and you have the tools. Last week I replaced my right rear wheel bearing. Most places want to sell you the spindle and wheel bearing but you can save a couple bucks with just the bearing from Honda.

You'll need a 32mm socket to get the nut off and a good torque wrench to get it back on correctly.

Might as well go ahead and do both sides.

While I agree 100%, normally... if the car sees a lot of track time at a track with lots of right turns, the left side wheel bearings will only last half as long as the right ones. I could probably get away with changing my left bearings only sometimes. That being said, I replace the fronts every year and the rears every other year anyway.

It's a pretty normal failure for a track car.
