Road Noise 30 to 60mph
aight my sister has a 96ish accord coupe and it isgiving her road noise between 30 and 60 mph. are we talkin wheel bearings? or cv joints?
she did get hit about a month ago on the drivers side front fender so that may be a contributing factor.

ok i just took it for a spin, she came up to the office, it sounds like a tire that has a flat spot (like that flop flop,) but its very light. and i can feel it as im slowing (coasting) all the way down to a stop, its more of a vibration at high 55-80 speeds.

Going down a level and straight road, turn the wheel slightly to the left- you will be loading the r/f tire\wheel bearing- check for noises.
Do the same going to the right- loading the l/f this time.
A bad bearing will get louder as more load is placed on it. Try it.

I'm thinking if she locked up her brakes ever she has a flat spot in the tread, nothing to do but let it wear even again. Or she may have a bubble starting in the tire somehere, very dangerous, check it out...those things will suddenly become blow-outs without warning.
