My son has a 2009 Honda civic that had the front bearings replaced, but after replacing the bearings, you would hear a repetitive thumbing only when braking and slowing down. If the car just started driving, you would not hear the noise, but after driving for a while that sounds appears. The brake pads are fairly new so that is not the issue. I have made a video and uploaded it to Google drive for you to see and here is the link You will see in the video that once the speed drops from 20mph to almost 15 you will start hearing the noise.
here is the link too. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rFVv5cZxKcTJMR6Q9VItiKppvs-XQb-k/view?usp=sharing
Can it be damaged bearings or is it something else? Is it safe to drive? Please let me know. Thanks
I don't like that sound. Make sure your lug nuts are on tight!
Thanks ChevyGMCvans.com mechanic's air power drill used to put them on, so doubt those are the lug nuts but will check them tomorrow again. Any other ideas?
I would take it back to the shop that replaced the bearings
Hello, did you ever find out what the noise was? I have a 2009 Honda Civic LX and have the exact same noise to a T, after a bad brake job and broken brake drum from the bad job. Brake drum got replaced, brakes got tightened, bled, checked on, etc. and fixed. But I have this noise now anytime I hit bad roads and especially in inclement weather. It seems to be present for the entire ride after one of these two factors or randomly. I am thinking something with suspension, wheels/tires, or the brake system. Please let me know what you found out!
