Default strange noise??

There is a strange noise coming from the right front side of my car, somewhere near or behind the wheel. It sounds kinda like something metal that is spinning on a bar. It happens when I hit a bump, or sometimes just here and there. I figured its probably the wheel bearings, but didn't see any crap on the backside. Any input????

Sounds like your drivers side CV boot is fucked up. And is your car making a clicking or squeaking sound when you turn? I dont know what else it could be, but hondas are known for their CV probs. Check it out, look for a rubber cover over a spinning shaft, if the Cv messed up then the boot will be ripped open and grease will be everywhere. well if thats not it then tell us some more about it. peace.

I would not ride it out if it is your wheel bearings. the same thing just happend to me. you will end up spending alot more money than you need to. when I should have spent about 60 bucks I ended up spending about $500 on other shit becouse i rode it out

how long was the time span between you first being aware of a problem and actually getting it fixed?

about two weeks. if you dont fix it now you will have to get new caliper, roter, hub, brake pads and every thing. It costs $35.00 to have the bearing pressed.
