Need help with odd noise from my civic!!

:paranoid:

OK here is the deal. My 1997 Civic/LX 4 door, 5 speed is making a huming noise when I accelorate into a turn. If I just turn the wheel or rool into a trun I dont hear anything. What the hell is it????

[HondaTypeJ]

Rotors? I dunno.

WELL

WEll i'm not sure what it is but if i were you i would start with the front suspension. you should lift up your car crawl under it with a flash light and check around the sway bar and such for shiny spots. if you find any thing shiny that could be the source of your noise. also next time it happens try to figure out what side the noise is comming from that will narrow down your search area.
also look for signs of oil around your front struts. a weak or bad strut could cause the vehicle to dip and rub during accelleration

anyways thats all i can think of right now

good luck

Ps. what size rims do you have on there? they could also be a factor

[smithbrians]

I still have the factory rims on now but I am putting on 14" customs tomorrow. I know, I know... Its not all that exciting but I travel a lot and I needed all weather tires that had a good milage warrenty. I couldnt get that from anything on a bigger rim. I was bummed out too cuz I wanted 16" rims. I can live with it. I am going to put my Civic up soon for all of ya to see. I had the struts checked out and they are ok. Looks like tomorrow I will be looking for some silver spost under the fender well. I think I am the only driver here that wants to put money into his Civic but doesnt want to make is a street car. Just a good looking, good on gas, and good handling car in all types of weather. Anyway I am blabbing here. Talk to ya later.
