So that I'm not at the mercy of my dealer can anyone offer advice? My Integra has just over 100k. There is a loud humming coming from my front end that increases with speed. It has Blizzaks on it at the moment (I'm Canadian!) so I initially thought it was the tire treads causing the sound on the pavement. I doubt that is the problem though. When I'm up at 80 k and steer to the right slightly, the sound almost disappears. It increases with speed. It's really noisy. Timing belt and water pump were done shortly before this started. Hubby says boots look fine and fluid levels ok. I suspect bearings but at 100k?! When it's idling it purrs as normal.

 

Have you had any kind of front end work recently done on your car? Mechanical or body? How long ago did the noise develop?

 

Increasing with speed seems to indicate that it's related to the wheels or axles, maybe brakes. Bearings would make sense but like you said, not at 100k miles. :dunno:

 

loose lugs????

 

100K good lordy for a 2000?

 

wheel aligment and ballance, thats what i had on my 2000 teg, if not maby drive shaft create some kind of vibration or something like that. 100k thats in km and it's not bad for a 2000 car i got 85 on mine and it's a 2000 too

 

Isn't 100k KM like 62k miles? That's still a lot for a 3 year old car I think. But oh well.

 

If your lowered, I would think it would be your right front tire rubbing somewhere, since if you turn to the right, the weight sifhts to the left thus taking weight off of the right wheel. I think what ITR said bout the balance and allignment would solve it if it wasn't the tire rubbing.
