First off, its a 1999 honda civic ex 4door manual tran with 110k miles. its not modified in anyway, completely stock everything.

Theres this very low screeching sound coming from the front driver side of the car. Sounds almost like a metal scrapin on the ground but its not. I physically checked under the car but theres nothing touching the ground. I know its not the brake either cuz I would recognize the brake indicator sound and the fact that this sound only comes on sometimes and not when Im pressing the brake.

Again, I am not able to reproduce the sound whenever I want to, I hear it while driving in the city, or on the highway and Im beggining to fret that if I dont find out what this is, it'll lead to bigger problems in the future.

Any possible ideas?

 

rusted rotors? give them a nice sand! or change your front bearings they don't cost that much! my moneys on the bearings though had the same prob with my back passengers one made a crazy screeching sound usually around time vtec kicks in

 

i also notice when im slowing down, the sounds fades away....
