For full features; Go to Accord: Loud humming noise??
Hi All,
My first post. I have not experience with cars except that I can change my
oil... I am a woman and dont want to get ripped off from any mechanics!
I have a 2000 Honda Accord, automatic, 4 cylinder. I just got new tires and
lower ball joints replaced. Ever since the ball joints were replaced my car
has been making this really loud humming noise, like it needs to be shifted
to a higher gear right when i get it up to 40 mph. But that is not it, the
rpm's go up and down, its shifting just fine. It makes the same noise when
its in neutral on the freeway. So it cant be the engine... right?
Anyways, I'm guessing its a problem from the lower ball joints just being
replaced. I took it back into him, he drove it and said he thinks its the
barrings, it has nothing to do with the lower ball joints he did and this
is just a coincidence. I left it with him and he is going to call me.
I have had work done here a couple times and he seems trustworthy but I
cant help thinking he might be trying to screw me. Any advice? I have not
even found out anything yet but do you think its a problem with the lower
ball joints he replaced??
Thanks for any help!
