Wheel Bearing humming?

For the longest time, I thought that since my rear toe was so in, (spoke with my aligement dude and he saids it's fine) it was making a humming noise at 80km/h. But today I checked my rear bearings and the rear left has free play. I'm just wondering if anyone else have this problem!!! I really hope they will warranty it!!

They should. If I remember correctly, the TSX has an ever so slight toe-in on the hind wheels.

Did you hit something?

What type of tires do you have? Are they grippy enough to surpass tolearances of load?

Nope. I've never hit anything (not even pot holes) and I have the stock tires on. The only thing I could think of is maybe my toe-in is a little bit too much and might wear it from that?!?!?!

My TSX is humming from 25km/h to 50km/h.

Only make humming noise when I slightly press down the gas pedal.

I think it's the front wheels for sure.

When I let it go down hill or when I brake on it, it won't make noise.

I tried to increase and decrease the tire pressures, it won't work.

The humming noise still there when gas pedal slightly press 15miles/h to30miles/h.

Anybody know what went wrong?

Is it because of the bearings?

But I didn't hit any curb, and it's still stock wheels, stock tires, stock suspension under 10000km.

Most definitely not. You're probably hearing some sort of humming from the gearbox.

I had to have my rear passenger side wheel bearing replaced. Kept hearing this noise which sounded like road noise for the longest time. Eventually it got louder over time. Took it in and they kept the car and gave me a loaner. The tech was amazed that the wheel was spinning, said he's never seen one so bad. Anyway, take it in and they'll have it back to you in a couple days.

exact same problems (same wheel, etc) here. maybe this is a design flaw inherent in all tsx's?

It's a pretty well known problem for Hondas. It's your luck too!!!
