Intermittent "groan" in 99 Accord
Hi all -
My wife has a '99 Accord LX Sedan - 5 speed, with about 85,000 miles. On
occasion (1-2 times a week for months), we hear a low "groaning" sound -
when moving forward from a stop. Usually it is when turning - such as when
going left or right from a stoplight at an intersection. It is not very
loud, and to me SOUNDS like the tires are rubbing on something - but there
is no difference in acceleration whatsoever, and the tires appear to be
fine.
I should mention that the car has stalled on her twice when this has
happened, and recently the engine died while sitting at a stoplight. Every
time the car starts just fine, and away we go until it reappears a few days
later.
Sorry I can't provide more detail - but this is all we have. Any
suggestions ?
Thanks !
- Mike

It may seem odd, but my daughter's '93 Accord LX makes a very loud squalling
sound when moving from a stop or making turns if the coolant is low. It
isn't a rubbing sound exactly, but more like a bad bearing.

Mike,
It appears that there may be something wrong with with the suspension
system. I would advise you to take it to your favorite mechanic and tell
him the problem. He can place it on a lift and take a close look at the
various parts related to the suspension system. He might even have a
helper or fellow mechanic turn the steering wheel to the left and right to
see if the mechanic can determine the exact source of the sound that you
are hearing. I don't know whether or not the stalling problem is connected
to the suspension problem. The mechanic should be able to tell you whether
or not there is a connection.
