Problem, squealing (sp) from wheels??? - Honda Prelude Forum

Prelude92S · 06-17-2002, 11:22 PM

After I have driven for a bit of time...say round 20 minutes there is a sqeal (sp) from I believe the front left wheel...I'm not that great with cars so I have no idea what it could be...bearing? axle? i'm just taking shots in the dark...any help would be very helpful...btw if i have my windows down after like an hour it sometimes gets so loud it hurts my ears.......

when does the squeal happen? when you are breaking?

I have the same problem. Can someone help us out?

Squealing?

Could be a dozen of things:

Brakes worn out
Brakes are the lifetime type brakes.
Bearings out.
Or maybe you just have a loose belt or something.

does it sound like metal on metal?? check out your brakes.

Here's what i've observed...it goes away when breaking...it goes away when i turn the wheel right...it stays when the wheel is straight or left and when i'm on clutch and gas...does that help at all....? and i can't tell if it's metal on metal...it's just like a screeching type sound i dunno how to explain really...

It only takes 4-bolts to remove and look behind the wheel. Take a look at the brakes and see if they're worn out.

does the sound get louder as you speed up, quieter as you slow down? If so it will likely be the bearings
