Hey Scotty, I have a 2011 Honda Pilot FWD touring with 190,000 miles on it and there is a strange noise coming from the front. I don’t have the words to describe it, but the best sound I could think to type is this “bwawawawawawawa” sounding noise that only gets worse with higher speeds. I’ve jacked it up to see if it was the wheel bearing but there wasn’t any play in the tires. Also get this, it seems to get better when you turn ever so slightly to the right. Going around shallow right bends it (almost) sounds normal again. Unfortunately the second you turn the wheel back to straight it’s back again. I took it to a mechanic and they want $120.00 just to look at it. I don’t really want to shell out that money just yet if it’s something I might be able to fix myself. Any ideas as to what could be going on, and what I can do to fix the issue?
Thanks so much for reading, and have a wonderful day!
- I thought it's a wheel bearing starting to go out but if you have no play just keep driving it eventually when the wheel bearing gets bad enough you will feel the play then you can replace the correct one otherwise you'd be guessing if you just replaced it on a whim
