    Whenever I drive the car, it’s making a noise like two rusted metal
    rubbing together for about 2 seconds everytime the wheel spins. The
    symptom would be more noticeable during the morning drive or whenever
    I turned the steering wheel. The dealer indicates that it’s just glaze
    on the rotors and that I should break a little harder to remove it. I
    doubt that this is the case since you could hear it even when I don’t
    step on the brake. I went to an independent shop and they couldn’t
    figure out what’s wrong with it since they can’t isolate the noise as
    to which side of the wheel it’s coming from. They noticed that if they
    put it on a rack and make the wheel spin it will not make any noise at
    all but only if it’s on the ground where there is weight on the tires.
    They suspected that it’s either the tire or bearing but not knowing
    which side it is they were not willing to take a chance to make any
    repair, Is there any other way to isolate the problem or know what the
    problem is? :cry:

    =====================================

    It's a Honda SE _what_ ? Are you talking about spinning on icy roads?
    What mileage, what country?

    This is an Accord SE (Special Edition). No it’s not icy road, just the
    typical dry california road. I have about 95850 miles on it.
