I have the most bizarre noise problem. I am hearing a whine come from the right front wheel area when I make a right turn. Here is why it is bizarre...

ONLY happens when a right angle left hand turn is being made.
Turn must be made while moving, as in does not happen when making the left hand turn from a stop sign.
Can not make the noise repeat by doing left hand circles in forward or reverse.
Basically can not make the noise happen unless doing a moving left hand turn.

Crazy right? As I come out of the turn I hear a whine from the right front wheel. The whine continues while in first gear and then as you go into second it increases with speed BUT decreases in volume until you finish second and enter third and the noise disappears.
My son-in-law is a mechanic and this even has him stumped. I changed the trans fluid at 60k by doing the old drain 3 qts, run the car, drain 3 qts, run the car, drain 3 qts run the car. This yields about a 88% trans fluid swap. Honda trans fluid was used.

Any ideas?

 

Check your brakes, Wheel hub assemby, or CV axle.

Maybe even your struts

 

My Accord is making what I call a Whomp, Whomp, Whomp noise. I thought it might be a bad tire or a bad wheel bearing. When I took it to the dealership, they said it was neither. Instead they said it was bad bearings in the transmission. The brand new transmission is costing me over $4,000 on a car with only 112,000 miles. Anyone else had this noise? Never noticed a shifting problem....just the noise.
