1990 Honda suspension noise

1990 Honda Accord

on sharp curves over 20 mph there is a whining/rubbing noise. Other than that its fine.

any guess as to what the problem is ?

Without hearing the noise, my guess is wheel bearing or (possibly) CV joint. Wheel bearings can take a long time to die, usually, and get progressively noisier as they go until they roar pretty loudly. CV joints usually make a rapid clunking noise in very tight low-speed turns when they start to go bad.

The wheel bearing on the '90 is a real PITA to change. Consider having it done if that's what the problem is.

Does the noise happen only when turning in ONE direction?

have you changed the disc or caliper recently? there's a different thickness in disks between 89 & 90, [89 is skinnier] and the caliper needs to be correct to accommodate. if there's an incorrect caliper relative to the disk, you'll hear a scraping noise when you corner. or it's just a bearing. time to inspect.
