I have a weird rubbing sound in my front passenger wheel well. I am not sure what it is but it sounds like marbles rubbing together. The sound happens when I let my foot off the gas. When I start to brake the sound goes away or when I start to accelerate again. The sound also stops when I am driving and I turn the wheel towards the passenger side it also stops when I got above 70mph. I have no clue what it is. Please help. Also the car is a 1995 Honda Civic Dx the car is completely stock.

 

I get this problem every so often... It usually turns out to be something to do with either the brake calipers (or pads) or a wheel bearing. If the sound is more of a rattle, I would suspect the brakes; if its more of a scraping sound, probably bearings.

 

Well when I straighten the wheels back out after turning to the passenger side it clicks once

 

I never really had a "click" sound, though in that same situation I had a very definite "clunk" (the kind that makes your stomach uneasy)... Turned out to be a ball joint. After you have reversed the car and then put it back in drive, does this noise occur just as the car starts to pull forward?

 

I guess it's more of a pop and it happens while already driving it's after I make a right turn. Also I drive a 5 speed

 

Is it hard to change out a wheel bearing?

 

Its not something that I've ever done myself, though I usually have to replace the front one at least once a year and the rear ones every couple of years. But I'm not very nice to my car... Its not an expensive repair to have done, but I don't remember exactly how much I've paid in the past... maybe $150???
