Recently Ive been hearing a loud howling sound coming from the rear of my Ek. Does any know what could be the problem?

 

either your brakes are locking up some how or wheel bearing?

 

Get some silver and check the rear for werewolves. It's fairly common for them to slumber in EK trunks......

On a side note, what do you mean by howling? like a loud metal to metal screeching noise? Or like wind noise? Specifics would be more help.

 

hmmm If my brakes were locking up I wouldve felt it but maybe it could be the wheel bearings.....hey do you know how much would they cost?

 

Haha umm it doesnt sound like screeching but more like wind noise

 

definatly a wheel bearing unless your back window seal is screwed.... i had the same problem going about 60 - 80 usually sets the thing off goto the wreckers, I'm in Ontario and got a quote $40 for the hub and bearing dont know if u can buy just bearings anymore maybe but chances are your old one will be a bitch to get out so its better just replacing the hub/bearing

 

deff. wheel bearing

 

thats a sign saying your cars a beast!

sike naw... its your bearings.

 

wheel bearing whine + vtec = super fast race car yo

 

Fixing a bad rear bearing is a straightforward DIY job. Just replace the hub unit bearing:
