$10 to resurface the rotor is wasting money?

i appreciate your advice...but $10 as a possible and probable fix was not an issue for me.

secondly, my diagnosis in the car pretty much points to the wheel bearing...it occurs on right hand turns, and not left hand turns.

the rotor resurfacing was just a "lets up this easy fix does it" ...wasn't a big deal at all.

thirdly, the only other probably problem you suggest is the "cv" or a dirty hub assembly...both of which i doubt are the problems.

i appreciate your input.

i do not know 100% what the problem is.

my comments were in response to your critical assessment of my "wasting my money" or that i shouldn't be spending money on new bearings.

you are implying that i am wrong for buying bearings without performing your additional diagnosis...well..i disagree and my next step is the wheel bearing...maybe i'm wrong, in which case i will say again, thanks for your input.

 

Ok no prob, when you get it figured out let us know, so someone else can get an idea of their possible problem as well. Thanks

 

anything new on this? i'm about to replace a wheel bearing myself...

 

I replaced the wheel bearing AND hub...and the noise is GONE.

 

kick ass. i have a few questions. did you DIY? where did you buy you parts, was it difficult, what did it cost you, etc? thanks

 

i attempted to DIY. you can definitely DIY if you have the Honda Ball Joint Tool.

we couldn't find one so we tried a pitch fork with NO success, so i took it to a mechanic, he charged $65 for one side. (i only needed one side replaced).

i purchased a wheel bearing and hub from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

 

the replaced bearing was rusted inside. hell my spline was rusted...there was so much rust everywhere.

 

yikes. looks like i'm a moron, where on that site are these parts?

 

try rear driveshaft...or rear brakes, its one of those.

you can call them, and they'll tell you what part number you need or even just order it on the phone.
