Hello,
I have a 1998 civic EX with 145,000 miles
its and automatic

My problem is when I turn to the right side I hear a grinding noise in pulses at the rear drivers side tire "area" so I go out and buy new brakes, new drum and new bearing hub assy.

I install everything and I still hear the same grinding noise?

please help me.
thankyou for your time

You hear the noise only when turning? Not when applying brakes?

I can here the grinding noise at about 15mph and then is goes away and when I am turning to the right

I took of the rear wheel and it seems that the drum is grinding on the back plate or something inside the drum
the hub spins freely with no noise?

Thankyou for your help

I own a 1996 4WD civic with 120 kilos and I have the same problem. The car grinds and vibrates when I turn at low speeds (real annoying). My technician told me it could be the steering box going bad or the drive shaft out of allignment. I am still asking around before I start spending.

If you find a solution before I do please let me know. I will do the same.

Good luck
