EG related buzzing sound question

[LadyLuck]

Hello boys,

Got a question here, wonder if anyone has experienced this before...I'm a little stumped.

I drive a 94 Civic Si, Coupe. And I've only noticed this recently. When driving 70 km/h or higher there is a weird humming sound coming from (what I assume) the rear of the car. The tires aren't perfectly balanced, all seasons on steelies that I've used over the winter. Steering wheel shakes a bit but thats nothing new. If I was to describe the sound it would be as if you're driving on studded tires :dunno:

Anyone experienced this before? I am pretty sure its not coming from the engine, and its only at higher speeds, if I leave it in 4th gear or higher and slow down it stops.

I'm driving to E-town sunday morning and wanted to make sure its nothing more then uneven tire wear or something silly like that.

Any helpful input is greatly appreciated :)

Thanks in advance.

I'd bet money on it being a wheel bearing.

Does it get louder when you turn one direction and quieter when you turn the other way?

^^^^Most likely wheel bearing, mine was doing the same.

does it sort of sound like your in a train thats going through a tunnel?

Haha, it's been a while since I've been on a train but yes you could say it sounds like that.

What are the chances of it seizing on me? Don't think I'll be able to get it replaced this week and I'm heading to Edmonton for the day on Sunday.

Dang it!:banghead:

Should be fine. Just get it done when you can.

Will do! Thanks for your help :)
