Acura Integra 98

Get the brakes looked at.

My random guess is a shim came out of place on the one of the wheels and is etching itself into one of your rotors.. Just a random guess though..

Yeah I had the whole car checked out and the guy said everything looked good. He said just to get the tires balanced which I doubt could be making that noise. Also sometims when I drive over rougher streets the car feels like it?s loose like the front tires are loose or something. Dunno but its fine on normal streets just the rough ones. someone said it could be the shocks not sure though

Someone said the noise could be from the exhaust shield that is vibrating or the plate. Does this make any sense to anyone else?

It also seems like the front part of the car is loose sometimes on gravel roads kinda like its shaking but on regular fine roads it?s fine. Could that be the shocks? a tie rod?

Any info is great. I am trying to get my tires equally weighted soon too. Hopefully that will help.

Something else to check - With my wife's car (same model), the rearmost exhaust hanger sometimes gets hung up, so that there's metal-to-metal contact between the hook on the pipe and the frame. This can give you a grinding-type sound.
