Front tire suspension
My accord's front left tirerecently started to make a loud noise that sounds similiar to a loud valve tapping noise when bearing left or making left turns. Any suggestions on how to diagnose the problem? Thanks in advance.

RE: Front tire suspension
It could be CV joint or wheel bearing.
CV joint will generally get worse w/ time, however the problem usually starts w/ ruptured boot which allows grease to escape. If you find a ruptured boot, CV joint is very likely. Wheel bearing is best determined by elevating and rotating wheel w/ car in N. Any growling or vibration indicates a bad bearing. You may be able to feel vibration through the axle shaft, good luck |
