i have this wierd sound coming from the front end. i know my shafts are in need of repair, but this sound is harder than a bad cv joint. it only happens at low speed, during sharp corners. it is more of a clunk, grinding sound.

does anyone here no what it could be? what does a bad wheel bearing sound like?

its not as soft sounding as the cv joints.

any help is good help. THANX

Hello fellow Canadian!

When you get sounds at low speed, cornering.. bla bla

It's probably time to replace the bearings.. The balls are probably all crushed.

change those damn bearings and it will go away. I had it on my accord and they dissapeared after a while, but i'm expecting them soon.

thanx guys. i will do the shafts for sure and most likely the bearings too.

i have heard that you have to get the bearings pressed in. is this true?
