2001 Accord - loud rear road noise over 40MPH
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! |

When was the last time you rotated your tires - badly cupped tires will
make a hell of a racket - rotate your tires so that the back end up on the front - when doing that check the wheel bearings by grabbing the rear tires at the 3 and 9 oclock position and pull back and forth - should be very little slop - do the same at 6 and 12 - you do this with the rear end jacked up. I replaced rear wheel bearings on a 80 accord only to find out my tires were cupped. Rotate your tires every 10K minimum and don't let anybody use a impact on the front wheels - they will warp your rotors. Had that done to me also. |

First, you have to ascertain that is the problem. It could also be suspension related etc. Assuming that there's nothing special about the bearings (I'm not that familiar with modern Hondas), it would be a relatively inexpensive fix. JT |
