My Acura integra makes a loud noise, sounds like it is coming from the tires or bushings, but I am not sure. I tried lifting the car off of its front wheels and started the car put it in first gear and steped on the gas, but it did not make any noise, but then I drove it and it made the noise almost like a belt but alot worse, and the belts are fine. It seems like it only makes the noise when the car is on the road maybe the pressure of the weight of the car is causing the noise please help. Thank you I will make a donation when I can thankyou

The noise it makes is more like a squeeling noise I think it only does it when the car is actually on the ground I lifted the car up and started it I even put it ingear with the two front wheels of the ground to see if it was the belts it did not make the noise, but the noise is getting worse now even when I am barley moving it makes the noise hope that helped I will make a donation soon I promise thank you

You need to strip down the brakes on the front wheels and make sure the pads are not down to the metal ...this would make a kinda squealing noise ... you will have to take the pads off .. even if they look ok while on the car .. there are rivet in the pads holding the pad to the metal this could be rubbing on the rotor ..do this first then get back to me
