Changed struts, cv joints/rods, did and alignment, did it when i had my summer tires on and its still doing it now that i have brand new winter tires on it. when i turn to the right the humming stops. when i reach 70-over 100km/hr even in a straight line its brutally loud and my stearing wheel makes my hand numb from the vibrations.....HELP PLEASE!!! -TIFFANY
Inner CV joints shake violently upon acceleration. Outer CV joints make rattle noise upon turns with minor acceleration. Brakes only will cause vibration upon application, assuming they are not sticking.Out of balance tires will not make noise. I assume that the summer and winter tires are not cupped.
A bad hub bearing fits your description. Since these bearings have gone to double rollers, the old test of turning to increase/decrease noise doesn't work. You can roll down the front winlows and drive down a quiet street that has building close to the road (read commercial area on a Sunday) and listen for the source, left or right side, even rear is a possiblity. A bad bearing will not cause a vibration until it is very bad, as in near self-destruction.
Have the wheel bearings / wheel balance checked.
SOURCE: 2007 honda ridgeline vibration in the steering wheel
I used to work for honda and found this issue only once. After checking the driveshaft, differential, and tires, i found that the drive axles were the problem with vibration in the steering or upon acceleration.
SOURCE: s2000 vibration when decelerating
Clutch would show different ugly symptoms - it is definately a warped/warn rotor and/or brake pads from high speed deceleration or "riding the brakes".
Fairly easy to fix, probably 2-3 hours of work for each corner
SOURCE: 2006 Honda Pilot - Road Noise - not tires.
the tires make steady noise , check the wheel bearing as noises get high and low at the same speed , and i also would check for diff if it's 4wd.
SOURCE: How do I diagnose a loud whining noise from the
It sounds like it is def. the wheel bearing. If you can get it on a hoist and let it down with something to stop one side of vehicle at a time and let other side spin freely you will likely be able to determine which side. Or if you have no hoist, jack up vehicle one side at a time and spin wheel listen for growling and also move tire in and out to check for looseness.
SOURCE: Honda Pilot 111,000 miles. Wheel or tire noise?
I would stick with tire noise. Unless you hear a ponounced clikcing noise when turning, it is not your CV joints. Wheel bearings are doubtful too; are you experiencing a wobbling sensation in the steering wheel when going down the road? The easiest way to actually check is to jack the front end up and try to wiggle the front wheels, NOT in the direction of steering meaning left to right but meaning putting your hands on the top and the bottom of the wheel and try to wiggle it. No wiggle means the bearings are fine...while the car is jacked up, you can take a look at the CV boots that cover the joints...if the boots are intact (no cracks, tears, no grease pushing out, etc.) then there is a 99.999% chance the CV joints are fine.
Testimonial: "I thought about that logic also. I'll get different tires next time. "
