Anyone ever had wheel bearing go bad in there civic?
 

I have a 1990 civic si and i am hearing a woomph woomph woomph from the left front wheel, i have checked everything, the sound sounds like the brake pad is rubbing against the rotor, but only makes this noise when the wheel is turned to the left, and when the wheel is straight no noise, it is weird...it doesnt appear the rotor is warped they are new like 3 monthes new, and new pads...just wondering what this could be is seems to be getting louder, and it started off really faint..i think it might be wheel bearing... ??? thanx guys.

I had a weird noise like that once and I thought it was a wheel bearing, but it turned out to be a ball joint. It was a brand new ball joint, but I put it on too tight and it was making a crazy noise when I turned. Just a thought......

DO NOT drive your car if you knwo your wheel bearing is fucked

I was at lapping day at Shannonville last weekend up here in Ontario.

This white eg, b16 swap, coming out of the last turn and down the straight, passed me going about 100, 100 meters down the track it just ------- jerked dead left, right into the wall

Car was a ------- mess, driver had to be cut out, car is a total loss, what happenned? WHEEL BEARING took a ----

The dumbass even knew, he said he was gonna get that fixed shortly, but I guess tracking it was more important...

The officials were talking about they being able to sue him for the damage done to the barrier and fence since he knew the car was not safe to drive

Still scary how he was in total bliss going down the straight, .5 seconds later, hitting a wall at 45 degrees

my brother`s civic had bad/bent suspension on one of the back tire. it has like 4 degree POSTIVE camber. and the tire would just ride on bearings.
we have to change the bearng like once a year to keep it moving ::) :P

front wheel bearings usally change noise like come and go if you turn left to right, they are two roller bearings sandwiched together so your loading up inner to outer when swerving. Fix it soon ;)
