Hi guys,

I've seen lots of threads that have helped me in working on my 1996 Honda Accord, so thanks.

However, I have a roaring noise / slight vibration in the front of my car. It sounds like it is coming from the front left area. When I am going in a straight line at speeds over 30 mph, it makes the roaring noise, if I turn left it still makes it. However, when I turn right the noise and vibrations are eliminated. Is this the front left wheel bearing going out? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

 

lf bearing most likely. hard to say without seeing/hearing. jack up that wheel and see if you can feel any vertical play in the bearing by pusing and pulling on the top and bottom of the tire.

 

Wheel Bearing IMO.

 

Agreed.

 

Have a 98 Civic Ex automatic that makes a roaring noise above 15 mph and gets louder the faster I go. Bearings are ok. Transmission in neutral or braking doesn't change the sound.
