Hi All,
I am quite new to Accord ownership, and love it up to now. I have done a few things to my 2.0 Exec Saloon including:
New clutch
New downpipe
New rear O/S wheel bearing/ hub ***embly
New rear discs and pads
2x new front tyres (Landsail LS388 225/45/17)
I still have a few issues I would like to get cleared up.
One, I have a whirring noise, seems to be coming from the rear off side, hence the new bearing/ hub. It seems to have improved things slightly, but not fully. The whirring, does sound like a faint wheel bearing issue, gets louder at speed, but the noise is not overbearing. It gets worse when going round left hand bends, thus loading the off side. Along with the new hub, the rear discs and pads were changed. I got 2x new tyres fitted on Saturday, with the rear off side wheel fitted with the new rubber, and put on the front. The original front wheel and Falken Ziex have been put onto the rear off side.
So with the hub, discs, pads, wheel and tyre being changed, I am running out of ideas. Could someone advise?
My other issue seems to be clutch related. When the car has been stood, which is usually overnight, and is started, it can hear what sounds like a squeaky belt. When I push the clutch pedal down, the noise stops, then reappears when released. Once the car is warmed up properly, there is no noise, clutch pedal up or down. I had the clutch replaced a few months ago, not long after I bought it, but it made this noise with the old clutch, slightly louder and even when the car was warm.
The only detail I can think of on this one, is that they didn't use the correct oil. Could this cause this issue?
I also have the creaky clutch pedal, but I have been keeping this at bay with white lithium grease for now, until I get some medium grease and plunger contraption.
Thank you in advance for your help,
