The tech verified it's there, so it's not me being crazy. Thus far they've replaced the front brake pads and rotors and the left front wheel bearing. Now they're messing around with tires. 2007 Honda Fit Sport. TheSchwamm - 2008-05-07 2:16 PM Okay, Ryna, apparently it's NOT the wheel bearing. What's your next guess? Whats the prob schwammalammadingdong? My guess is the tires. Don't know why they didn't check that first. |

Whats the prob schwammalammadingdong? My first guess would have been a slightly warped rotor, but you would feel that during braking, not just cruising unless it was REALLY bad. So not that...... Ok, this may only be with 4x4's. Have you driven through any mud recently? even on accident? Sometimes a clump will lodge itself on the inside of the wheel/rim and throw off the balance. Something to look at. Make sure they are clean. Other than that, I have only some some basic wheel work, ie changing out auto lock 4x4 hubs and changing pads/rotors. |

Whats the prob schwammalammadingdong? Has it always done this? Sometimes when cars sit on the lot too long, the tires get deformed and they have to replace them. At least ours do sometimes.. It's been doing this for months, but not for always. Helpful, i know. The car has never sat still that long. It was a popular seller when i bought it (had to get mine halfway across the state from where i live), and i drive it regularly. |

Why the trained professionals wouldn't notice that and instead would replace the brakes and a wheel bearing... Yeah. |

| Champion 7495 Schwamalamadingdong! | Subject: RE: TAN 24: TANgerine Speedo.. Okay, so it's nothing stuck in the tire (i did ask!). They called Honda people out in California, and they're playing the process of elimination game. Hoo. Ray. Next step: Replacing additional wheel bearings 'cause since you can't really place where the sound is coming from, maybe it's not the left front. i am so glad this has shown up during the warranty period. |

It started to bulge and I felt a whmup, whump, whump. I figure the same thing could happen to a car if one of the steel belts go out.... |
