    Have a 1991 Honda EXR wagon (273,000 km) that has started to make what is
    best described as a hollow moaning sound from passenger side front end. The
    wheel bearing has been replaced but the noise continues. It doesn't vary
    with speed but seems to happen mostly over bumps (but not always !!). This
    is driving me nuts ... does anyone have any ideas?

  2. It could be lots of things. The best thing to do is take it back to the
    mechanic that replaced the wheel bearing to check his work and to see if
    he can find anything else that could be the source of the noise. Some
    mechanics place the car on a lift and elevate it slighly. Before they
    elevate the car--someone gets behind the steering wheel. After the car is
    started and the front wheels start spinning--it's easy to identify the
    exact source of the noise.
