Default 98 Civic EX - bubbling noise? coming from front passenger wheel area

about the noise, picture putting a very small nail into your tire, and putting a couple of drops of water over the hole...

well it happens only so often, and its definatly from the tranny area. its relative to my car's speed because if i shut the car off and roll in neutral, i could still hear the noise. I don't think it has anything to do with an engine leak, and my wheels dont have any play ruling out the bearings. im stumped...what do you got honda tech?

You don't get bubbling noises from mechanical parts. That's coolant. Bleed the air from the cooling system for starters.

replaced my rad about a month ago so i bled the coolant that day, and made sure no air in the coolant the next day so i can pretty much rule that out

I don't think that you can and to verify it will only take you maybe half an hour of your time. The cooling system is the only system where you will hear "bubbling" noises. That is, unless you have described the sounds incorrectly.

Are you sure you do not hear from behind the dash, I get that noise, might be air still trapped.

You MUST provide all pertinent information about your car and engine. Failure to do so may result in thread closure.

Is your rad fan working? When my rad fan stopped working my coolqnt overflow was bubbling because the coolant was hot

i think you read my post incorrectly because i bled the system when i replaced my radiator, and the next day to make sure there's still no air that could've snuck in. if you push my car down the street while its off, you hear the noise. i think it has something to do with a moving part attached to the axle. not my coolant.

it sure is working. and the noise is relevant to how fast my car is rolling.
