Hi everyone.. I'm new to the Honda Fit Forum. I have a 2007 Honda Fit base model. I recently had a grinding noise start. It is coming from the front left. I changed the wheel bearing on the left side, as well as the CV axle (new ones not remanufactured) and the breaks and rotors. I thought for sure that the noise would go away after all of that. Well, the noise is still there. The car has 198k miles on it. I thought maybe the noise could be the transmission bearings where the axle spindle enters, but it's not a constant grinding or humming sound. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?

Thank you,
DJ

 

Put it up on jack stands, put it in gear and get under there to see what you can see.

 

Like Fit Charlie said.

Noises are very difficult to localize properly. The origin could be on the right side, or under the hood, etc.

 

Is it possible that your are hearing the normal ABS noises?

 

I'd check to make sure the bolts are tight at the bottom of the strut. At that many miles your suspension has been replaced, and it's possible it didn't get tightened enough. It happened to me when I put on my aftermarket suspension. Grinding and clunking noises.
