Trouble finding source of noise.

for bearings, jack the suspected wheel off the ground and, leaving the
wheel on for leverage, check for play.

if it is a bearing, take it to the shop. the tools necessary to press
the old bearing out and get the new one in without damaging it are not
cheap or the kind of thing you have laying about in the garage.

if it's the inboard joint, it can damage & loosen the output socket on
the diff. driveshafts are relatively easy to replace. check out
tegger's faq's regarding the joint separation tool you'll need to do
this job properly. when removing the outboard joint from the steering
knuckle, try and avoid hammering it - you can damage the wheel bearing.

I had a similar howling noise in a 97 taurus, so this may not apply to a
Honda. I jacked up the front and felt no play in either hub/bearing
assembly. I then road tested it again, weaving back and forth and the
noise was louder when I weaved to the left, so I replaced the right
front hub/bearing assy. I got lucky.

I can't answer that because I haven't replaced one on my 2000 Accord, I
don't even have a service manual for it.

Thanks to you and "High" for helping to narrow this down. Turns out is is a
bearing (left rear) and my local shop will do it for $200 parts and labor
(something about it being a single assembly including the hub).

the rears are easy to do - you just replace the hub assembly which comes
with the bearings already in it. it's literally a 15 minute job. if
you're mechanicaly inclined you can do the job yourself. it's the
fronts that are tricky.

I'll save that for another time. While I am mechanically inclined, I'm just
not inclined to take on this task at this time. My work is 160 miles round
trip and I'm in the middle of a project that's just a little too high
exposure to risk missing extra days off if I mess something up. If it was
warmer weather where I could rely on my motorcycle while the car was down, I
would consider it.
