Just bought 04 AT TL, now this...

...So before I bought my TL I did the necessary inspections, I got the safety/e-test everything done. I even drove it around the city for a day and had my friend check it out!

Day after I pick it up and drive it a good 150km's in two days, I notice a rattle coming from the passenger front side wheel. It sounds like someone is rolling an old rusty can around with a nail in it, round and round and round. It only happens as I speed up, then brake in 2nd gear (roughly).

The sound is only clear (and here's where it gets really clear) when I am near a curb on the right side, and the sound can bounce off the curb and provide clarity.

At first I thought it was the brakes (they're about 60% worn and need to replaced. Tires are at 6's and need to be replaced soon as well). But then it is only happening (and getting worse) when I speed up, and slowly goes away as the tires spin less (turns, stop signs, etc).

Anyway... any advice would be helpful. I'm such a car noob and I'll be taking it to my friend soon but any experience on this would be a greatful addition to my discussion with my mechanic. Thanks!

Actually after doing a search this is almost exactly what is happening: https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-rl-2005-2012-76/squeal-shhh-sound-while-driving-after-five-minutes-784438/

Except that's a different car... similar parts somewhere down there?

could be bearing or a hundred things
could be the tires- another member had a terrible unfindable noise-
after admitting it was in need of tires...
then guess what happened when new tires finally installed!!!

If you are not a car person have a pro look at it
ck phone book ads for smaller ad with acura listed as what they specialize in

avoid big name chain stores as they have to make xxxx dollars per day and will ~overdiagnose~ to make the quota
Im certain if we replace allllllllllll these parts,,, it will fix that noise Sir~
