0 Dave Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sounds more like a rear wheel bearing. Find out what side it's coming from, then jack that side up. with the car properly jacked up and wheel choks in place, Hold the wheel at the top and the bottom, and push and pull to see if the wheel moves in and out (even slightly). And spin the wheel and listen for grinding or roughness. And whilst its jacked up, if you find the wheel really hard to turn with the handbrake off then suspect a sticking rear calipper or drum (depending which yours has) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ryan6926 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 It could be a few things, It could be the caliper not releasing itself after you apply the brakes?It could possibly be a wheel bearing too I'd imagine although I'm new to Civic's so I'm not sure how they're assembled Have you noticed a drop in fuel economy which could be brake related?

0 Ryan6926 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Just to make sure it's not the Mrs first? If not then probably as Dave said 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
