Noise coming from right rear wheel
Hey guys,
I've recently purchased an s2000 AP1, got road worthy certificate for it. So everything is fine.
But once i take the car for a spin, i notice there's a noise coming from the right rear wheel. But it goes away after 60km/h ^, the noise comes back once i slow down below 69km/h and gets louder. It sounded more like those games when they spin the circle for a lucky colour, as it slows down it gets louder. I've taken it to the mechanic, i was told the previous owner had the same problem and took it to honda world. They said it was the lubricant that stopped the noise and came back after the rain washed it away. Also i've been told by another mechanic that it was the nuts, because on the right side of the wheel it is an aftermarket. But for the left it is the genuine honda nuts. Also another mechanic told me if could be the Diff. So anyone out there had the same problem and got it solved, might wanna let me know what it is to solve?
Thanks

It is either your wheel bearings or your rear brake pad indicator. If you look it up in YouTube you could find how a bad wheel bearing on a s2k sounds like. A bad wheel bearing is more of a screeching noise while the brake pad indicator is like when you run your finger through a stack of cards but slowly, that is the best way to describe it

I have the same problem - right rear tire. It started after a Honda mechanic resurfaced my rotors and changed my rear brake. Every time the wheel spins I hear a "shoo" sound. The sound gets louder as the speed gets higher. I'm going to lube the brake pad up to see if that solves the problem.

i think its your wheel bearing too,i had mine replaced the other week as mine was really bad.Jack your car up and see if the wheel moves about as this is the main sign your wheel bearing needs replaced, mine started off with a little rattle like sound(best way i can describe it was a very small pebble in a tin can shaking about)anyway just my 2 cents but i can understand how annoying it can be
