Hello,
I have a 2001 Accord EX (4-cyl). While driving there is rear
undercarriage noise at all speeds. The sound is a low frequency
vibration that varies with the current speed being traveled. The
sounds appears to becoming equally from the rear left and rear right
corner of the car. There is no connection to RPMs or engine activity.
The faster the wheels spin, the louder is gets. At 40MPH the vibration
hits a painful, headache inducing, frequency. The faster I go the
higher the frequency. 40MPH is bad, so is 65MPH, but the sound is
always noisy. Back seat passengers really notice it.
A full tire rotation made no difference. Now what?
Thanks! |

Time to raise both rear wheels and rotate them by hand, paying attention to
the feel and sound of each. I think you have a wheel bearing going out.

I would expect in the $200 US range, but I'm not sure what type rear
bearings the '01 Accord has. There is no need to replace both if one fails.

Ok. I dropped it off at PepBoys tonight for early bird Sunday service.
We'll see what happens.

Rear brakes got new pads about 6-8 months ago. >> Stay informed about: 2001 Accord - loud rear road noise over 40MPH |

Not a big fan either, but they are just a 3 minute walk down the
street, and being a single guy it is extremely convenient. Anyway, I
am still is research mode so I have not authorized any repairs (yet).
I just want to hear their diagnosis. >> Stay informed about: 2001 Accord - loud rear road noise over 40MPH |

PepBoys? I hope for your sake they don't screw up. Franchise-type
companies like PepBoys and Midas are generally to be avoided. Find a good
private mechanic who works on Japanese cars instead. >> Stay informed about: 2001 Accord - loud rear road noise over 40MPH |

Just to clarify... If the hub is supported by an inner and outer
bearing (simple spindle suspension), I would replace the pair even if
only one was going bad. Honda's do have inner and outers, yes?

Yes - the pair on that side would be replaced. I meant the left side would
not have to be replaced if the right side is bad, the way shocks and
bushings are done.

I replaced a rear wheel bearing assembly on one side last year. ~$150
at a dealership. In my case the sound was coming clearly from the
passenger side.
