CV joint maybe?

 

are you on after market rims?

are your tires the correct OEM sizing?

is your alignment off?

 

i wouldnt stop driving it until it got really bad, i _would_ get it looked at...um...tonight

saturday at the latest

 

Im dont have rims yet. Planning on getting some soon though. I will get it checked though. Im just wooried about the wheel comin off when im on the highway.

 

i had a similar problem but the problem only came on after a little bit of driving. meaning if i just left my house it was fine. get to work the noise was there. It was bearing. It doesn't necessarily need to seize. Mine was really bad. when I took the hub to get the bearing pressed out the guy just pulled it out with his finger. That's how bad it was. It wound up destorying my hub also.

I did notice that my axel nut was loose when I took apart everything. Jack up your car, and just look to see if the axle nut is loose or if anything looks out of place or ordinary. If it's your first time looking down there. Take some pix and the rest of us can look too.

Anyways I'd put my money on wheel bearing.

 

Thanks. Ill take some pics also for you guys to look at.

 

hey b, tell him what it might cost. seems like ive heard in the $60 range/ wheel, but will they want to do a pair at a time?

 

I had a bad bearing on my old car before my civic....it was a constant "thump thump thump thump" noise. It happened all the time...not just when I turned. It would start the second the car started moving, and continue until I stopped again. If its only happening when you're turning, I would suspect a bad cv joint. Check it out....does it have grease all over the outside of it?

 

There is a slim chance that it is the wheel well liner is loose and touching the wheel on tight turns.

 

could very well be a cv joint also... but it's clicks more than it grinds. but it could be just the use of words.
