hey,
well i have an accord and i wanna find out if u guys will know something about this...but while driving it (moms car) and like when ur driving it theres this grunting noise comming from the axel/drive train etc...and specially when ur turning. do u think its the bearings?

chris_si98

jack the car up.. and hold the wheel at 12 and 6 and 3 and 9 and give it a shake.. if it moves.. check what is moving.

a few things come to mind. Could be axle related, or could be a bj

imported_goaT

a bj would make a noise like this? but its more like when the car is moving its a loud grunting noise and u feel it on the gas pedal.

imported_Lonely Racer

it sounds like an axle to me.. but who knows could be some thing else.. could be a baring? what year is it? is it some thing like the 99 around there some place? and does it happen to be the v6?

Wheel bearings generally make noise while moving, and usually the faster you go the louder and more offensive the noise.

When my axle went it made a humming noise, that I really only noticed when parking the car. Ball joints always made a squeaky bed spring noise the 5 times I had them replaced, but only when turning at a slow speed, not on driving turns.

Have the suspension and axle checked. How old are the tires on this vehicle? Could be a tire problem, especially getting feedback in the gas pedal.

tires are good condition...its a 97-98 something like that and ya the faster u go the louder it is until u reach a point where ur going to fast and it doesnt get louder.

Those Accords are known for front wheel bearings to go. Wheel bearings is a good assumption in what you are describing.

imported_goaT

aight thanks =)

imported_mikepasini

had the same problem last week.. my axle was ****ed up, but i think it was that and partly the wheel bearings too...

imported_Team Rukus

what year is it 97 or 98 you are talking about two different generations.


94-97 accord none of them have this problem.

imported_goaT

its a 98

I think the other thread is the axle from his swap on his car. This is about his Mother's 98 Accord. My neighbour has a 98 Accord, and the front wheel bearings went over a year ago.

imported_goaT

no no that other one is on my 94 bubble...this is my moms 98 accord, thanks ya'll.

imported_Lonely Racer

its not a problam no... but the veheil barings are really comen on them to go..... i have always had an accrod, my accord 97 and the one i have now the 99 v6, have had them go on them...... its comen for them to go. and also depends a lot on the driver as well, meanign if the like to hit stuff...
