2001 Accord - loud rear road noise over 40MPH

waitneight · 2006-07-22T23:02:48+00:00

Hello,I have a 2001 Accord EX (4-cyl). While driving there is rearundercarriage noise at all speeds. The sound is a low frequencyvibration that varies with the current speed being traveled. Thesounds appears to becoming equally from the rear left and rear rightcorner of the car. There is no connection to RPMs or engine activity.The faster the wheels spin, the louder is gets. At 40MPH the vibrationhits a painful, headache inducing, frequency. The faster I go thehigher the frequency. 40MPH is bad, so is 65MPH, but the sound isalways noisy. Back seat passengers really notice it.A full tire rotation made no difference. Now what? Thanks!

I want to says thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. Nothing feels worse that getting financially duped as a result of being uninformed. I appreciate the education!

Work was completed for a grand total of $229 (part + labor + tax). The noise is GONE! No more earplugs when I am a highway. Worth every penny.

Even more important, noisy wheel bearings just about always seize at some point. No fun to be beside the road with a car that won't even roll. Congrats and thanks for the follow-up!
