Hey! Someone with the same problem as me!!
2001 Civic - all four tires are now brand new - PROBLEM PERSISTS. In fact, sounds like it's getting slowly louder. It's a whining/low hum sort of irritating noise 50km/h and up. I actually had the garage replace the tires (none of the ones anyone else has mentioned) because they couldn't figure it out either, so gave me a warranty replacement. No change. Sounds like it's coming from front right-ish area. Checked the brakes, rotors, replaced the tires... I had a thought maybe it was a loose plastic piece - maybe a mudguard or something which would begin to vibrate when air hit it fast enough, but the sound is too consistant in volume and tone I think to be that. I'm thinking engine/drivetrain now? Hope someone has better luck figuring this out - my wife is getting pretty pissed about it! -e "Craig Smith" <casmith @ connectmail.carleton.ca> wrote in message news:3H5za.22737$b67.2867865@read2.cgocable.net... > Hey, > I have a 2001 Civic Coupe with the Firestone FR690 tires.

I doubt that the engine is your problem as its speed is not fixed by the car
speed. Anyway, to eliminate the engine, it is quite simple. Once you reached the speed and you hear the noise, shift the car in neutral. If the noise doesn go away once the engine speed droped, it is not the engine. Your problem might be a defective wheel bearing. |
