I have a 2006 ex accord I4. While driving at all speeds I hear a roaring noise coming from the front on the car. It seems like it is a bit louder towards the driver side while driving. When I put the car in neutral at 45mph roaring noise is still there. I thought it might be the tires, but the noise seems just too loud. The car has 73k on it. Please help.

 

Do not post in the DIY section.....questions like this go in General Tech.


Does the noise change with speed. Also when turning left or right does the noise change in any way. This is sounding like it might be a wheel bearing but testing will tell.

 

Yes the noise gets louder as you drive faster. Do wheel bearings go bad at 73K miles? No shimmy or shake at the steering wheel. All responses appreciated.

 

Poorman212 moved your post to this thread for you in case you didn't notice..

 

Just test drove my car a few minutes ago again.

1) Noise is louder on driver side
2) Noise gets louder the faster I drive and decreases the slower I drive
3) Noise does not change while turning the steering wheel slightly right or left while driving 45 mph

All responses appreciated

 

"kind of odd" that at that milage it/they would go bad but things happen.

Again the bearing is where I'm at.......I've been wrong before. You can jack the car up and verify if this is true and which side it might be......or verify I'm wrong

Edit: wow I'm really slow, I didn't see your last post....don't ask. I'd really check the bearing on the drivers side.
