I ran into a problem with my front passenger side wheel. There is a stretching noise ( hard to explain, but there is a noise) coming from the passenger side wheel. It sounded like a loose brake bracket was hitting the rotor but in doing so, I rotated the tires, changed rotors and brake pads ( with new brackets), and adjusted my coilovers and its still there with it being a bit more louder then usual. I was reading up on the other Acura models and they had to replace their struts due to no grease, but Im not to sure if it could be the same sound. I plan on making a video of the sound so you ppl can hear it for yourselves. Please feel free to tell me your ideas (troubleshoot)!!, Im also still researching on it more and plan on getting a friend from Acura to check it out in the mean time. Hope we can all find out what the problem is

Is it like a creaking kind of noise? Like a old door hinge that needs lube?

@02tlnate I think my door hinge is fine, but theres no problem in checking it out. thanks. I think stretching wouldn't be the right word too, probably a clinking noise would be a better fit for the problem, anyways the sound is still there and what ever that is, its not so pleasant.

Hahaha I wasn't referring to your actual door hinge. I meant does the sound, sound like a creaking old door hinge. Sorry for the confusion on that lol.
I just made a thread of my issue and it has a video attached of the way mine sounds if you get the chance check it out it should be the top five recent threads

No the sound thats coming from the wheel isnt a "door hinge" noise. but thanks for the recommendation.

When does the car make the noise? When its driving straight? Going over bumps? Turning the wheel? All the time?

Can you duplicate the noise when the car is off?
Press on every side of the shock area to see if a noise is made.

Help us help you.

It only makes a noise when the car is own and moving more than 5mph, going straight and reversing only. No sound over bumps and when turning the wheel but theres always a noise when the car is in motion.

I tried to duplicate the noise when its off but no sound what so ever. Ive also pressed on the side and still no noise.

Im also trying to post a video but having a hard time.

Put both front wheels up on jack stands and see if you can duplicate the noise. Of course exercise extreme caution when doing this.

Try hear on my Youtube video. *Dont mind the wind.

I'll bet it's your wheel bearings. The wind was a bit too much but I think I could hear a roaring noise?

I wouldn't rule out a wheel bearing but they usually hum when going bad and you'll feel a slight vibration in the floor board as well, creaking noises usually pretain to some kind of suspension part wearing out, you should also check your cv's. Try to recreate the noise and remember how you did it it will be easier to try n pinpoint
