Guest Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 When i drive i get a rumbling and pulsing noise coming from the front passenger side wheel. It intensifies when i turn right and goes to almost non existent on a left-hand turn. Is it the wheel bearing or soemthing else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I recently bought another parts car and instead of parting it out right away I decided to fix a couple of things that were wrong and I am now driving it for the winter. After getting it on the road I found the exact same symptoms as you describe from the right front. I replaced the wheel bearing assembly with a used one I had and all the noise went away. It is very easy to replace the bearing assemblies. I do have more and can be reached at jfinn@cpinternet.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padgett Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Almost a whine is a front wheel bearing. clunking at low speed wheel at full lock is CV joint. Most likely wheel bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 nah i dont get the clunking at full lock, my friend had an Accord once, it sounded much like the Reatta does now, he changed his wheel bearing and it was 100% better. Just how quiet should it be in the drivers seat anyway? We talking "middle of nowhere" silence or are we talking "middle of nowhere with engine noise" silence?

sahein Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I thought that I had a bad bearing once but it turned out to be a bad tire. There was no visible defect on the tire. It sounded like a bad bearing loading and unloading when the wheel was turned left and right while going down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
