Could it be the bearings in bulk? Or is it my tires or something else?

question of Taryn C. : Can you be the ball bearings in bulk? Or is it my tires or something else? I have a 1991 Honda Accord and when I take between 30-40 hours, I heard a “Thump Thump” noise as it comes from my left rear tire sounds. The pounding gets louder as you get closer to 40 mph. I think it could also be present last 40, but usually there are other noises that could block it. I know that the rear tires are not new, I bought the car used almost a year ago and the person I bought from said they were “new” tires, but not entirely new. Also I noticed if someone else was my car that left rear tire seems to wobble a bit. Is it just something with the tires, or is it the bearings? I took my car not too long a braking and spoke of something lost one of my bearings. At that time I did not hear any noise. Anyone have any idea what could be? Also (if known), which could cost the repairs? Is it still safe to drive Best answer: the answer

I have never driven through high water and it has 108K miles. I have checked to see if anything is rubbing against the wheel, any advice?

Sounds like it could be the bearings, shouldn’t be the brakes. If you place both hands on top of the wheel and grip it (with the car parked on a flat surface with the hand brake on) then try and rock the tyre towards and away from you, if there is excessive play then your bearings are gone. Went on my car, you know after a while because it soon gets REAL noisy.
