Honda Car Forum

Hi,

My 98 LS standard makes 2 strange noises when driving. One is a high pitched
squeak/whistle whose pitch increases with speed. The other is a low pitch
whistle and is a contsant pitch. Both seem to be coming from the back, one
on each side. Both continue until the car is COMPLETELY stopped, then they
stop. I hear them in reverse and gears 1-5. They sound slightly different
when in reverse.

I first noticed it a few months after the rotors were replaced. Anyone have
any ideas/similar experiences? Could it be the rotors?

Thanks

Andy

Could be a stuck caliper. Did you have the pads changed at the same time
as the rotors? What brand did you use?

Yes, I had the pads changed. I am new in town, so I used the local Midas
shop.

I have an update on the problem. It is definitely something scratching as
the wheel/rotor moves. The scratching noises speed up when the car does.
After driving about 8-10 miles (mostly highway) the left rear wheel
covers/rims feel warm. If the wheel were a clock, it is warmest where the 5
would be.

Thanks in advance for any help.

oh yeah. and when I'm breaking, the noise is the same, but slower of course,
because the car is slowing. Otherwise, the noise doesn't change.
